Coronavirus pandemic, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday as lawmakers began plotting more coronavirus relief legislation.
At a news conference, Pelosi said the Democratic-majority House of Representatives planned to return to session the week of May 11, but also indicated that could change, saying lawmakers are "at the mercy of the virus." Pelosi said money for state and local governments would be the core of the next legislative package
Democrats draft to respond to the virus, although she also named other priorities, such as extending broadband access.
