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

And I'm Anna Palmer. We've got some news this morning. Mark Meadows, a member of Congress and current acting White House Chief of Staff, who is negotiating all day on Capitol Hill, has hired former representative John Fleming of Louisiana to work in the White House.

Fleming most recently was Assistant Secretary of Commerce for

Economic Development. He left the House to run for the Senate in 2016, but lost. We hear that he'll be

Deputy Chief of Staff. Breaking overnight, our colleagues, Andrew DeSidario Mel Zanona and Sarah

Ferris had the latest on Senate leaders in the Trump administration striking a $2 trillion

emergency relief bill in

response to the coronavirus. The New York Times reports the bill has a significant expansion of

unemployment benefits and the postnotes of Senate Republicans have been going over the bill to

double and triple-check Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin's work in brokering a deal with

Schumer. One person who is counting all they got, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

He's put out a list of items.

He says they've secured recently, including $55 billion more for hospitals, $150 billion for states,

localities and tribes, $30 billion in emergency education funding, $25 billion in transit funding, among many more items.

and in-laws of those officials are also barred. We anticipate Republicans will disagree with some of

Schumer's accounting. Now we're actually on the two-yard line. We anticipate this bill will pass

with a very large bipartisan majority in the Senate later today. Remember, members of the House are

going to want some time to review legislative text. The working theory in Democratic leadership seems to be that a vote will come Thursday, though it could happen as early as today. What does a vote look like? It's a good question. Both sides hope they'll be able to pass this by unanimous consent or voice vote, but just one lawmaker may object to the request, which would force them into a tricky

plan B. Here's one question. What will AOC do on this bill negotiated by Chuck Schumer? Last night
