Today's Politico Playbook Audio Briefing is presented by Google.

Good Tuesday morning, I'm Jake Sherman, and welcome to your political playbook audio briefing.

And I'm Anna Palmer. The coronavirus relief talks are barely 12 hours old, and a few truths have already

revealed themselves. This round of negotiations is going to be a long slog. It seems like a stretch to believe this will wrap by the end of July.

There are two hurdles that need to be cleared.

First, the White House and Senate Republicans need to get on the same page.

That's not happened yet, not even close.

And then, Republicans need to do battle with Democrats. An administration official

described the dynamic as such. The divide between Nancy Pelosi and Senate Republicans is bigger

than the Grand Canyon. While everyone's focused on UI and state and local assistance,

as well as an additional PPP, the real problem is ultimately going to be everybody adding

non-related things to the bill. It seems inevitable. This is going to be a flight with plenty

of turbulence. At the moment, a few major issues have surfaced. Senators want more money for testing,

but the administration says there's $9 billion of testing that has gone unspent.

Senators are pretty much uniformly opposed to the payroll tax cut and the administration's

pushing for it.

Senators want more money for the CDC for vaccine disbursement, while the administration seems

to still be reviewing its options as to how to best distribute an eventual vaccine.

There's a minor fight over defense department money as it relates to the DPA.

The president wants to condition some education funding on the reopening of schools,

which legislators oppose.

It's tough to see which administration priorities survive here.
