Patrick Semansky/APPresident Trump said congressional Democrats don't want to make a stimulus deal because such a deal would be beneficial to him in the November election. "They think it's good for politics if they don't make a deal," Trump said at an ongoing Labor Day news conference"They don't want to make a deal because they know that's good for the economy. And if they make deal that's good for the economy — and therefore, it's good for me for the election in November, Nov. 3 — and therefore, they're not going to make a deal," he added. About the stimulus stall: Lawmakers don't appear any closer to striking a deal on additional coronavirus stimulus. Democrats are pushing for a wide-ranging, multi-trillion dollar proposal with funding for schools, rental assistance, health providers and small businesses.
