AP Interview: Pelosi: Americans ‘worth it’ on $3T virus aid

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday defended the stunning $3 trillion price tag on Democrats’ pandemic relief package as what is needed to confront the “villainous virus” and economic collapse. Trump has insisted any future coronavirus aid “must prioritize Americans’ health and the nation’s economic prosperity,” said White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany in a tweet. As the party’s presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden shelters at home, campaigning via video from his basement, Pelosi said he’s doing “just fine” in the new normal of an election year. She said that she has been “dismayed, frankly,” by the way Trump is encouraging people to avoid the stay-home guidelines but that she “can’t dwell” on the president’s leadership.
