House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday pushed to rally support for Democrats' latest $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill, even as the White House has threatened to veto the legislation and Republican lawmakers have blasted it as a "parade of absurdities." The White House, in a formal veto threat overnight, said the bill is packed with “ideological wish lists." PELOSI CALLS $3T CORONAVIRUS RELIEF BILL DEMOCRATS' STARTING OFFER AS WHITE HOUSE ISSUES VETO THREAT“Today, the House will consider The Heroes Act to honor those on the frontlines – our health care, first responders, teachers, transit, food and other essential workers,” Pelosi wrote. The bill adds $75 billion to “ensure every American can access free coronavirus treatment,” and to expand testing and contact tracing. McConnell emphasized, though, that any further coronavirus aid bill would have to include liability protection for businesses and other organizations that resume operations amid the pandemic.
