Lawmakers are racing to clinch a deal on emergency funding to combat the coronavirus as more cases, and the first deaths within the United States, took place over the weekend.
The House is expected to vote on billions in funding aimed at combating the illness this week, though negotiators have not yet finalized a deal.
“An important step that Congress must take is to ensure the government has the resources needed to combat this deadly virus and keep Americans safe. To that end, House appropriators are working to advance a strong emergency funding supplemental package that fully addresses the scale and seriousness of this public health crisis, which we hope to bring to the Floor next week,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a “Dear Colleague” letter on Saturday.
A group of appropriators, led by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) and Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), have been locked in days of negotiations over a potential package to provide supplemental funding amid growing concerns about a widespread outbreak of the virus within the United States.
"We want to make sure if this stuff really spreads that we're doing our job," Shelby told reporters late last week.
The administration requested $2.5 billion in funding, half of which would have been new funding. The rest would have come from existing health programs, including $535 million from fighting Ebola.
They’re likely to get double or triple that request. A source familiar with the talks confirmed to The Hill that negotiators are looking at providing between $6 billion and $8 billion.
That’s below the $8.5 billion requested by Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), but significantly more than the White House’s request— which even some Republicans characterized as too low.
"I think $2 billion is a little low, I think we're probably looking at $4 billion in this process, having spoken to Democrat House members from Appropriations," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters last week during a press conference.
Pelosi added in her statement that the funding package had to be comprised of new funding, and that there must be guardrails to ensure President Trump "cannot use these new funds for anything other than fighting coronavirus and infectious diseases."
