“As a stalemate over coronavirus relief legislation persists, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows will speak on the phone Thursday afternoon for the first time in weeks, but both sides are downplaying any suggestion that the phone call will restart negotiations,” NBC News reports.
Pelosi said she is returning Meadows’ call “out of respect” but that it will be a “very short” conversation if he’s not willing to meet Democrats in the middle.
Said Pelosi: “Are you willing to meet in the middle? If so, we can have a conversation. If not, I’ve returned your call.”
