Pelosi, McConnell discuss COVID relief as pressure builds

dc-casket-of-rep-john-lewis-leaves-capitol

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) arrive to watch a casket with the remains of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) be carried from the US Capitol building July 29, 2020, in Washington, DC.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Capitol Hill’s top leaders have spoken about COVID-19 relief for the first time in a month.

The conversation between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell adds to tentative optimism that a medium-sized aid package might break free after months of Washington toxicity and deadlock. The phone call between the two leaders — who are frequent rivals but proven dealmakers — came the day after the Democratic speaker signaled a willingness to make major concessions in search of a COVID rescue package.

Pelosi’s spokesman said the conversation was “about their shared commitment to completing an omnibus and COVID relief as soon as possible.”
