relief, but said aid will be a long-term prospect as the country struggles with the pandemic. <\/p>\n<p> Speaking after a weaker-than-expected November jobs report, Biden said the \u201cgrim\u201d data showed a stalling economy but \u201cit doesn\u2019t have to stay that way if we act now.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       \u201cAmericans need help and they need it now,\u201d the Democratic president-elect said. <\/p>\n<p>Biden spoke in Wilmington, Del., as negotiations were intensifying on Capitol Hill on a fresh coronavirus relief package. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat, on Friday said there was \u201cmomentum\u201d to the talks, after speaking Thursday with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican. <\/p>\n<p>Even if lawmakers pass an aid package in the lame-duck session of Congress, Biden said, it won\u2019t be enough. He said he was aiming to propose hundreds of billions in relief. <\/p>\n<p>Biden was asked if he\u2019d spoken with McConnell but sidestepped those questions. <\/p>\n<p>This week, Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said a roughly $900 billion aid package should be a basis for negotiations. Democrats prior to the election insisted on a more than $2 trillion package, a size McConnell rejected. The Kentucky lawmaker has proposed a smaller package.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>See:<\/strong>  Pelosi says there is \u2018momentum\u2019 for deal on COVID aid<\/p>\n<p> Sticking points between Democrats and Republicans on a COVID deal include the size of aid to states and liability protections for businesses and others. McConnell has pushed those protections but some Democrats want to limit them. <\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>U.S. stock indexes<br \/>\n        SPX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/210599714\/realtime\" class=\"positive\">+0.88%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       closed at new records Friday after the jobs report showed fewer positions were created in November than had been estimated by economists, perhaps bolstering the case for further fiscal stimulus from Congress.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> \u2018Job growth has seriously slowed\u2019 \u2014 economists react to \u2018dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointing\u2019 November employment report <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Robert Schroeder\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robert_Schroeder\"><\/span>Robert Schroeder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
