Asked if President Trump’s “WORK TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE” tweet meant that an agreement had been made on a second stimulus check, Pelosi said, “No, it means that we want to see that they can agree on what we need to do to crush the virus,” according to Forbes. Last week, both sides of the aisle resumed negotiations on an economic relief package in the hopes of striking a deal before the election. They were unable to iron out the details of a package; however, White House officials are still optimistic that a deal can be reached by the middle of this week, according to the Washington Post. While speaking on Face the Nation, Pelosi added that she hopes President Donald Trump’s recent diagnosis will “cause the White House and congressional Republicans to change their stance on how to handle the pandemic and ‘listen to the science’ after Democrats have criticized the GOP for months for not taking the virus seriously enough,” reported Fox News.
