Nancy Pelosi-Steve Mnuchin relationship key to federal government’s coronavirus response

CNN  

CNN — Washington’s trillion-dollar response to the coronavirus pandemic has landed in the hands of an unlikely duo who’ve managed to forge a bridge between the White House and congressional Democrats: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Pelosi and Mnuchin’s nonstop negotiations last week led to the House’s bipartisan $8.3 billion stimulus package that Trump signed off on and the Senate passed Wednesday. A senior Treasury official said the President has entrusted Mnuchin with some of the most critical deals of Trump’s presidency – and several had been the product of negotiations with Pelosi. “He has respect for the speaker because they have learned in other negotiations, they can’t go around her and they can’t run over her.” The Treasury official said that talks between Mnuchin and Pelosi are “candid but professional,” noting that she spontaneously invited him to her office last week when Mnuchin was on Capitol Hill to brief Senate Republicans. Then in the Rose Garden Friday afternoon, Trump said, “We don’t think the Democrats are giving enough.” It could have scuttled negotiations, but Pelosi and Mnuchin kept talking.
