Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected calls from some House Democratic moderates to hold a vote on a new, smaller stimulus bill and doubled down on her push to get the White House to agree to a $2.2 trillion package.
The House last moved on coronavirus relief in May -- passing the $3.4 trillion Heroes Act that died in the Senate -- and members of the moderate New Democrat Coalition have privately pushed for a vote on a bill reflecting a $2.2 trillion offer Pelosi has made to the White House.
