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 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.
