I& #39;m writing something on this at the moment, but:

I think we& #39;ve reached a point where Pelosi should accept the old $1.6T offer.

A deal might help Trump a bit politically. But people are going to suffer if we don& #39;t have an aid package for winter. https://twitter.com/ylanmui/status/1314227710407868417?s=20">https://twitter.com/ylanmui/s...

Democrats could not accept a deal that gave Trump the appearance of acting without doing very much to help families or states. As Pelosi put it, it wasn& #39;t a situation where any deal was better than no deal.

But the $1.6 trillion offer, as described by the press, is actually substantial.

It& #39;s still possible Senate Republicans would kill it. But if so, it should be on them.
