U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Monday that Democrats are ready to return to the negotiating table over coronavirus relief, if Republicans would agree to a larger bill than they have been willing to accept up to now.

“Democrats remain ready to return to the table. We need our Republicans to join us there and meet us half way and work together to deliver immediate relief to the American people,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.

Last week, Schumer used similar language to urge White House negotiators to agree to a legislative package at least $1 trillion larger than the $1 trillion bill that Senate Republicans have already proposed. The White House rejected the offer, ending nearly two weeks of almost daily negotiations.

mcm_ct A simple no should suffice.

It's already a do e deal executive order is signed

Democrats need to cut the pork and get to applying all necessary aid to the people.

It is a sad testament to the lack of leadership in our Legislative Branch that it took this unilateral action by realDonaldTrump to get them to consider doing their job, find common ground, and help the American people they are supposed to serve.

Just open the economy and practice vigilance and good hygiene. If you're ill, compromised, or elderly, stay home. Racking up additional trillions in debt will kill us all.

haha No they aren't. They are trying to push to make our election less protected. That is the only way they will win so they are ready to cheat.

Should have actually moved faster

Day late, dollar short. Sorry.

Too bad. You lost that game.

Move? DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Dems. NEED to hold tight... tRump's trick is rubbish. Repubs. own the failure.

Mnuchin is open to more coronavirus stimulus talks: 'We're prepared to put more money on the table'“I think there is a compromise if the Democrats are willing to be reasonable,” Treasury Sec. Mnuchin says about negotiations over the next coronavirus relief package. Members of congress receive $3,346.15 PER WEEK, from tax payers. Republican millionaire members of congress are begrudging American tax payers $600 a week during the coronavirus disaster while they rake in $13,384 a month, from us, for working part time. So all in all the Trump signing of the executive order for relief doesn't amount to squat. If so why are there talks still going on? Some more pumping by clown & clown jr
