House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is optimistic about progress in crafting an aggressive new coronavirus stimulus package.
Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders spoke outside the White House after a meeting with President Biden.
The Speaker said she hopes for some support from Republicans on the nearly two-trillion dollar package. Many Republicans are balking at the price tag.
House Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn said the stimulus measure is about getting help to people who need it the most, as soon as possible.
