House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an agreement with the Trump administration on legislation to provide financial relief to families and workers hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic, seemingly putting an end to a day of uncertain negotiations.
"We are proud to have reached an agreement with the administration to resolve outstanding challenges, and now will soon pass the Families First Coronavirus Response Act," Pelosi said in a letter to colleagues.
Although President Trump told reporters earlier Friday that he wasn't happy with the Democrats' bill and that he didn't think either side was giving enough, he tweeted Friday night that he urged Democrats and Republicans "to come together and vote YES!" He wrote that he was looking forward "to signing the final bill ASAP."
