There is now a growing tension within the rank of Pelosi who did not only reject the stimulus bill that Republican lawmakers offered but also the relief aid with bipartisan support that worth $2 trillion.  

Pelosi is now hearing more complaints from her own party. The Democratic lawmakers want the passage of a new stimulus bill after a series of talks with the White House had been stalled due to political reasons. 

During a conference call on Tuesday with the New Democrats Coalition, a group of moderate members, several implored Pelosi to keep the House in session until more relief aids are passed, including the stimulus bill. 

Traditionally, lawmakers go home to their states a month before the election and campaign for reelection. But this time, lawmakers want to go home after reaching an agreement on the next stimulus package. They firmly believed that this will affect the reelection campaign for both parties. 

The frustration is coming largely from Democratic representatives who are facing very tough and competitive races. They knew that with the series of Pelosi's rejection towards the Republican-led and bipartisan proposed stimulus, there is a slim chance that they will win in the election.

Some of them believed that voters will penalize them for not producing the new coronavirus relief aid that millions of Americans needed. If the bill will not be passed, chances are the most of the Democrats will lose the election and Republicans will have control in the Congress. 

This is the reason why the Democratic lawmakers are pushing Pelosi to reach an agreement for a new stimulus package.

It can also be remembered that more than 100 Democrats signed a letter and demanded Pelosi to vote on a bill that would extend weekly unemployment payments and other benefits.

Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger said that she is hearing from her constituents every day, begging for Congress to help.

"My conviction is to actually do my goddamn job and come up with a solution for the American people," she noted.

She issued this statement as a response to another lawmaker who argued that Democratic members should not give in to Republicans. 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed the Senate for not taking the stimulus bill seriously. However, Democratic members said that blaming the Senate will not satisfy the voters who are dealing with health and economic issues.

Candidates strongly believed that one of the ways for them to win the election is having a campaign and bringing with them a new stimulus. 

Even though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said they will not leave the House and would stay in session until a stimulus deal is done, she has yet to lay out her strategy on how to advance with any legislation.
