Odds are rising around a last-minute breakthrough on a stimulus agreement between the White House and Democrats — but Senate GOP support is 'the trillion-dollar question'

in its battle against a pandemic that's already killed 207,000 Americans and demolished the economy.

Stephen Moore, an outside economic adviser to the White House, told Business Insider in an interview the White House and Democrats appeared to be closing in on a compromise, though he believed the president's diagnosis had changed little. He said both sides are narrowing their differences on state aid and federal unemployment benefits, two areas of major friction.

"He needs a victory here and a deal, he thinks it'll help the country but also help him politically," Moore said. Brian Riedl, a conservative economist at the Manhattan Institute in touch with numerous congressional Republican offices, called it "the trillion-dollar question." Democrats have long insisted on a broad relief package with measures to aid the unemployed and cash-strapped states. Republicans say only a targeted plan is needed to address the crisis, with measures to help people return to work and provide aid to small businesses.
