The House, Senate, and White House are now negotiating a third $1 trillion economic stabilization package of the sort that Mr. Mnuchin discussed at the Senate lunch. The divide appears to be generational, with younger lawmakers and those with young children more enthusiastic about the idea. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is 79, and Representative Steny H. Hoyer, Democrat of Maryland and the majority leader, who is 80, have been extremely resistant to remote voting.
