House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been pushing to get the bill finalized and voted on by the full chamber this week. House Democrats are circulating provisions to allow all eligible voters to vote by mail, according to Democratic aides. Also Democrats are pushing hard to include direct assistance to Americans, including recurring payments of up to $2,000 a month during the crisis. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California, a leading proponent of the effort, told CNN Monday that he's "cautiously optimistic" the provisions will be included in the Democratic bill. "We must act boldly to support state and local entities to address coronavirus-related outlays and lost revenue," she told Democrats.
