Kudlow: Funding Of Voting Rights Is A “Liberal Wish”

CNBC reports:

President Donald Trump will not support a coronavirus relief deal that includes “voting rights” provisions backed by Democrats, White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow said Thursday.

“So much of the Democratic asks are really liberal, left wish lists — voting rights and aid to aliens and so forth,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” when asked about the administration’s stalled aid talks with Democratic leaders.

“That’s not our game, and the president can’t accept that kind of deal,” the director of the National Economic Council continued. “So, we’ll wait and see on the negotiations. Treasury Secretary [Steven] Mnuchin is working on that, but so far it’s a stalemate.”
