After a tense day on the Senate floor that included leaders trading barbs over who is to blame for failing to advance a new coronavirus response bill, the top Senate Democrat said late Monday night that he was “very, very close” to an agreement with the White House on a deal for a third wave of emergency funding that could go well past $1 trillion.

“There are still a few little differences. Neither of us think they are in any way going to get in the way of a final agreement. Secretary Mnuchin called the president, we told him we are very, very close to an agreement and he seemed very happy with that,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters shortly before midnight.

Schumer met with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin four times Monday, including a meeting shortly after 8 p.m., a Schumer spokesman had said.
