Pelosi clashes with reporter – admits she has moved to assist the aid regulation due to "new president"

Pelosi changes her mood

Pelosi had been criticized for months for not supporting a moderate democratic proposal and instead insisting on more money. The current proposal is $ 908 billion, which is significantly less than the $ 1.5 trillion proposed before the election, according to Fox News. Even Donald Trump's White House proposed more than the one in October with a $ 1.8 trillion package roughly twice the size of the one Pelosi is now supporting.
