After the 48 hour deadline was set by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, talks between her and Steven Mnuchin have heated up. They made significant progress on the bill, which gave steam to the rumors of the bill being passed. The goal was to get it done before the election, because of the challenges and time it would take afterwards. No deal has been reached despite the progress, extended unemployment, direct payments are among popular things they agree on. The major hold up is the amount of funds to local and state governments, citing difference in opinions as the blame. However, the progress made motivated the two sides to work past the initial 48 hour deadline, and well into the weekend. There is still a small level of hope of a new deal being passed before the election, stay tuned and stay safe .
