Some Democrats are urging Nancy Pelosi to accept the White House's $1.8 trillion stimulus offer. But Senate Republicans pose a big obstacle to a coronavirus relief deal.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks during a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on August 13, 2020.Some Democrats are urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi to take the White House's $1.8 trillion stimulus deal.

Yet some Democrats are urging Pelosi to accept the White House's stimulus offer to try to get federal aid out the door as fast as possible. Nearly 26 million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits nearly seven months into the pandemic. Many small businesses, particularly restaurants, are at risk of bankruptcy without more government assistance.

"We need to get people help and relief," Khanna said. "We're not that far apart and the last few things should be negotiated — we should be able to get something done." "The biggest point I keep trying to make is that just because the president has offered a deal, it doesn't make it an actual deal," Linden told Business Insider. "This feels like a point that is just completely handwaived away by people who seem to think if Pelosi and the president agree in principle to some deal, it either becomes law or has enough weight to put McConnell in a bind and I don't buy that at all.

. "If Mitch McConnell and his half dozen or so vulnerable Republicans want to ignore or vote down a relief package, let them do it. And then Democrats can hammer the living daylights out them in ads and on the campaign trail."Pelosi defended her tough negotiating strategy in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday.

Give them NOTHING until Nov. 4....

We’re many months into failed talks and it seems everyone is playing politics with benefits that could help Americans in need. I’m saddened by every one of these politicians that won’t put American lives before their politics. It is truly disheartening!

Because I know best... Because I feed them... Because I only care about millionaires....

Put the ball in Mitch's court!
