 News outlets are reporting that Trump's personal assistant, Nicholas Luna, has tested positive for coronavirus. Hopefully the diagnosis was made early and he can recover quickly.  Pelosi says she is still working hard for a stimulus agreement with the republicans -- but so far no deal has been reached. She has also stated that if Biden wins the November election, there won't be a problem passing a large stimulus package. The question is, can financially struggling Americans wait that long?

Pelosi made appearances on several news shows over the past weekend. One of the topics she focused on was a second stimulus bill.  Pelosi feels strongly that a new stimulus deal can be reached before the election. One of the reasons she feels more confident now than in the past, is that the democrats have agreed to trim down their stimulus proposal to appease the republicans. She hopes that by doing this a new deal can be reached quickly, and signed by the president at the end of next week.  There are also some politicians who support Mark Cuban's stimulus proposal.
