Pelosi draws line in stimulus talks, says House won't accept short-term extension of unemployment benefits

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday shut down any suggestion that Democrats would pass a standalone extension of expiring unemployment benefits if lawmakers can't reach a deal on the broader coronavirus relief bill in the coming days.

"No, no, no," Pelosi said emphatically Friday at a Capitol news conference aimed at pressuring Senate Republicans to include a $600 per week employment benefits extension on their forthcoming legislation.

The House speaker said if Democrats agree to pass the unemployment extension separately, it takes the pressure off Republicans to take up the other planks of their plan, including housing assistance, food stamps, state and local aid, and voting-by-mail.

"I would be very much averse to separating this out and lose all leverage for meeting all of the other needs," Pelosi said. "It's a fraudulent tactic."
