During last night’s final presidential debate, after heated exchanges on how each candidate will combat the ongoing COVID crisis, the discussion turned toward the currently unpassed relief bill.
Joe Biden placed the blame squarely on President Trump, ignoring the fact that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been the one stalling, reports BRIGHT editors.
The President responded to these criticisms, highlighting Pelosi’s reasoning for wanting to stall the bill, keeping relief from Americans for political gain.
President Donald Trump:
“Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want to approve it. I do… We are ready, willing, and able to do something. Don’t forget, we’ve already approved three plans and it’s gone through, including the Democrats in all fairness… This one, she doesn’t want. It’s near the election. She thinks it helps her politically. I think it hurts her politically… That’s one of the reasons I think we’re going to take over the House because of her. Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want to approve anything because she would love to have some victories on a date called Nov. 3.”
