More Coronavirus Stimulus Likely on Hold Until After Election

Summary from the AllSides News Team

President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that more COVID-19 coronavirus relief would happen after the presidential election. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reportedly discussed new legislation for close to an hour Monday, capping weeks of fruitless negotiations over the bill as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) motioned for the Senate to adjourn until Nov. 9th. Coverage on all sides focused on the president's comments, the talks between Pelosi and Mnuchin, and details about more direct stimulus relief payments. Some coverage from left-rated sources framed Trump and Republicans as being to blame for the lack of more relief; some coverage from right-rated outlets painted Pelosi and Democrats in a similarly negative light.
