Pelosi Disagrees With GOP’s Desire to ‘Pause’ Next Relief Bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is not in agreement with Republican lawmakers’ desire to “pause” discussions on the next coronavirus relief bill.

Pelosi appeared on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes” on Monday evening, where she weighed in on the situation as House Democrats prepare to introduce a new proposed bill to help ease the financial strain on Americans.

Despite Senate Republican lawmakers’ disinterest in another round of stimulus payments to Americans yet, Pelosi is expressing concern about the harsh reality many people are facing as a result of the pandemic.

“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.

Pelosi’s comments came shortly after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s (R-Ky.) remarks about the possibility of another stimulus package.

The two have both expressed interest in pausing discussions on another bill, which would include an additional round of stimulus checks.
