On Capitol Hill, stimulus talks remain stalled, with both Democrats and Republicans rejecting a White House proposal for a $1.8 trillion stimulus. Last Tuesday, Trump tweeted that he was ending stimulus negotiations until after Election Day — only to reverse that announcement later in the day. Democrats say the latest White House offer is “insufficient,” citing shortfalls in funding for unemployment benefits, child care, and aid to state and local governments. Republicans say the bill is too costly and object to its expansion of the Affordable Care Act.
