She talked about the state of COVID-19 relief talks with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, saying she is optimistic about a future agreement, but acknowledged they were both coming from “two different places.” Speaker Pelosi also reacted to the first presidential debate, calling President Trump a “bully” and former Vice President Biden a “decent person.” She told reporters her message to the president for Election Day is, “They ain’t no light at the end of the tunnel for you in the House of Representatives…because the light at the end of the tunnel in the House is gonna be a train coming at your plan.”
