House Democrats said they are making progress with White House officials on a deal to pass a new round of coronavirus aid after meeting for more than two hours Monday. But Republicans are accusing Democrats of putting politics ahead of a deal.

“We are really getting an understanding of each side’s position,” Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said after a Monday afternoon meeting with Trump administration officials. “And we’re making some progress on certain issues, moving closer together. There are a lot of issues that are still outstanding, but I think there is a desire to get something done as soon as we can.”
