Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday pushed back against Senate Republicans who have called for a "pause" before enacting any additional coronavirus relief legislation as her leadership team prepares to unveil its proposal.
House Democrats are expected to introduce as soon as Tuesday their latest legislation to help mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic, including expanded unemployment insurance, food assistance, additional direct payments to individuals and funding for state and local governments.
"We have to put money in the pockets of the American people, recognizing the pain, the agony that they are feeling. To those who would suggest a pause, I'll say the hunger doesn't take a pause, the rent doesn't take a pause, the hardship doesn't take a pause," Pelosi said during an appearance on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes."
