House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is “optimistic” after the Trump administration made concessions on coronavirus testing and tracing ahead of a Tuesday evening deadline.
"The Speaker continues to hope that, by the end of the day Tuesday, we will have clarity on whether we will be able to pass a bill before the election," her spokeswoman tweeted.
The House Speaker said if a deal isn't reached by Tuesday evening, a package won't be likely before Nov. 3.
The U.S. House Speaker says President Trump's recently boosted proposal still doesn't go far enough.
The speaker, though saying the boosted offer comes up short in several areas, didn't shut the door on a deal.
