Hours earlier, in a conversation with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi struck a more partisan tone. She gave credit to Democrats; and she said that the $2.2 trillion package will not be enough:
“We have to be ready to not only finish the job, but to do it in a way that takes us in a very positive way for our economy, and to do so in a way that honors our values,” the speaker said.
A number of Democrat “values” were removed from the $2.2 trillion Senate bill before it passed, but some remain.
Pelosi told PBS on Wednesday that Democrats “yielded on many points.”

Pelosi told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that the bill written by Senate Republicans “was a trickle-down corporate bill. It is now a bubble-up workers bill. And we’re very proud of that,” she said.
