President Trump on Tuesday called for suspending negotiations on a new round of coronavirus relief until after Election Day. "[House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19," Trump said of the $2.2 trillion package House Democrats approved last week. "We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith." Trump said he had told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to "instead focus full time on approving my outstanding nominee to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett." He later backtracked, tweeting that Congress should "IMMEDIATELY Approve" a new round of stimulus checks, as well as aid to prevent airline layoffs and revive a lapsed loan program for small businesses.
