Pelosi 'optimistic' about relief deal with White House, but Senate GOP remains resistant

House speaker Nancy Pelosi says she's "optimstic" about the prospect of a coronavirus relief deal with the White House, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is advising the Trump administration against a comprehensive deal. CBSN political reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns, CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang, and Politico White House reporter Tina Nguyen spoke to CBSN's "Red & Blue" host Elaine Quijano about whether any of the much-needed aid is likely to be coming soon.
