''We are committed to staying here until we have an agreement.'
While some have floated the idea that coronavirus relief could be added to the spending proposals, leaders in the House and Senate have rejected the idea.Attempting to break the logjam, groups of of moderate lawmakers in both parties, many of whom face tough re-election races this fall, have tried to push their parties’ leadership to get back to the bargaining table.
Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., added that the push for a deal was not meant to"undermine the speaker’s negotiating position." Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle denounced “brinkmanship” and partisan politics for holding up the passage of another relief bill. The group of lawmakers acknowledged their bill was not going to be the final version, nor was it even a perfect bill, but they hoped it would pressure both sides to return to the bargaining table.
The plan Senate Republicans attempted to pass last week did not include the stimulus checks and had smaller amounts of money for unemployment benefits and state and local funding.
