(CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday continued her blame of Republicans for the stalemate in negotiations over another round of coronavirus relief funding for Americans. In a letter to her Democratic colleagues on Saturday, the Democratic leader said that progress on the negotiations is "complicated by the complete disarray on the Republican side — as President Donald Trump contradicts his own negotiators and his own position." Pelosi's letter marked the three-month anniversary of the House's passage of Democrats' $3.4 trillion stimulus package, the HEROES Act. Both the House and the Senate are now in recess until September without passing a stimulus bill after weeks-long negotiations between the Trump administration and Democrats broke down. If there is a deal on the stimulus, however, members will have 24-hour notice to return for votes.
