🚨🚨Some COVID RELIEF NEWS from me and @BresPolitico : On a leadership call today, @NancyPelosi  said Dem lawmakers are telling her they DONT want a pre-election vote on a potential covid relief bill unless the Senate is going to take it up before the election

> @JohnCornyn  to @seungminkim  on covid relief: “A big part of the problem is people have just been focusing on the top line. There's more than just the top line - it's the substance that we really haven't been talking about or focusing on, including the Mnuchin pelosi negotiation”

DURBIN said it was a “fair question” to ask if Feinstein should be chair. But he didnt answer

🚨THIS ANSWER will drive *a lot* of convo today ... BIDEN says he’ll create a “national commission” to create a plan “as to how to reform the court system” This is part of his intvw w @NorahODonnell  on @60Minutes 

BIDEN WOULD FACE EARLY GOVERNING CHALLENGES: a government funding fight at some point in the first six months, a battle over whether to blow up the filibuster, more Covid relief and a federal bureaucracy plundered by TRUMP.

> @SpeakerPelosi  : 'I think we’re just about there,” she says of her talks with @stevenmnuchin1 

🚨� @NancyPelosi  says she and @stevenmnuchin1ave  NOT come to agreement on state and local funding or liability provisions. These are the two toughest issues in this negotiation.

So here’s the takeaway from @NancyPelosi  newser. She says the two sides are close, but they still have not solved the two most difficult issues: state and local funding, and an overhaul of liability laws
