House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team are trying to sell their caucus on the Senate plan, arguing it is a much improved version of earlier proposals even as some on the left gripe about reports of the emerging deal.

According to sources on an ongoing conference call with the House Democratic Caucus, Pelosi told her caucus the bill is an improvement from a few days ago, contending it has moved in a positive direction.

On the call, she argued that $500 billion fund for distressed industries, for instance, will now be overseen by a five-person panel, one of the sources said. This is a key point of contention within the House Democratic Caucus, even prompting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to tweet her concerns about the emerging deal earlier this afternoon.

Pelosi said the bill is a «big advance,» but contended it was «not everything we want,» according to the source.

Winning over the caucus is important because any member — Republican or Democrat — could object and demand House members return to Washington to vote in person if lawmakers don’t cooperate and allow the vote to occur by unanimous consent or voice vote.

Also, on the call, Pelosi pointed that there would be $150 billion in funds for state and local governments and $130 billion for hospitals. She also said that Republicans would not agree to a 15% increase for food stamps and other nutritional programs, nor would they provide the money Democrats demanded to encourage states to adopt vote-by-mail programs.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, on the call, said there would be additional economic relief legislation as well — potentially two more.
