House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said there’s “real optimism” that Congress can reach an agreement on a coronavirus stimulus plan soon.

Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are getting closer to a deal on boosting the U.S. economy and health care system, which have been ravaged by the pandemic.

Pelosi cheered a development to add more oversight to a $500 billion pool of taxpayer aid, calling it a “big change.”
