Pelosi Unveils $3 Trillion Coronavirus Aid Package

The transcript discusses a new $3 trillion coronavirus aid package proposal called the Heroes Act, which includes significant funding for state and local governments, small businesses, and coronavirus testing. Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, advocate for the package, citing low interest rates and the need for substantial economic support. However, Republicans and the Trump administration prefer to wait and see the effects of reopening the economy before passing another large stimulus bill. The Senate is unlikely to approve further aid until after the Memorial Day recess.
