White House, Democrats Remain at Odds Over Coronavirus Aid Deal

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - The White House and top congressional Democrats remained
   at odds Sunday over the scope of more assistance for 30 million
   American workers left unemployed by the coronavirus pandemic.

   In back-to-back appearances on ABC's "This Week" show, House Speaker
   Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democratic-controlled House of
   Representatives, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, sparred over
   how much new aid the national government should approve beyond less
   generous state unemployment benefits.
