The clash between House and Senate lawmakers — and between Pelosi and the administration — means that no deal is likely ahead of Election Day, something that has been apparent for weeks but none have been willing to say it out loud ahead of the election.

“You want to meet with him, you meet with him,” she told Stephanopoulos.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Sept. 18, 2020.

Pelosi's new 48-hour deadline - just two weeks before Election Day - was met with mixed reaction by the White House. Even as White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah - in a Fox News interview - called Pelosi’s timeline “artificial,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows welcomed it. Republicans and the White House have rejected hundreds of billions in aid to states that have poorly managed state pension funds, and many - if they support any further stimulus at all - have dismissed any package with a price tag in excess of $1 trillion, putting them distinctly at odds with the president.

Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell speaks to the media after a lunch with Republican Senators, on Capitol Hill, Sept. 30, 2020.
