WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are going back to the drawing board on a huge virus relief bill.
House Democrats say they are paring back their proposal in an attempt to jump-start negotiations with the Trump administration.
If talks fall through, the Democratic-controlled House could still pass the measure next week.
The chamber passed a $3.4 trillion rescue measure in May but Republicans dismissed the measure as bloated and unrealistic.
Even as Democrats cut their offer to $2.2 trillion or so, Senate Republicans are focusing on a much smaller rescue package in the $650 billion to $1 trillion range.
