It's about time.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and President Trump struck a deal Friday evening on a multibillion-dollar stimulus package aimed at assisting millions of Americans directly hurt by the coronavirus outbreak, Pelosi said.
...
The deal arrived after days of roller-coaster negotiations that put the outcome in doubt as the nation’s leaders raced to ease public anxiety and stabilize volatile markets. Just hours before the deal was announced, Trump suggested in a Rose Garden address that he wasn’t on board, raising doubts that the two sides could come together.
...
The agreement struck Friday aims to ease some of the economic stress by providing financial assistance to those most directly affected by the crisis, including unemployment and paid leave benefits...
...
Pelosi had been engaged in intense negotiations throughout the week with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Trump’s point person on the second round of emergency coronavirus relief.

What about the abortion funding proviso?

Speaker Pelosi tried to slip funding for Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry into the Coronavirus (COVID-19) funding bill - trying to circumvent federal law that specifically prohibits direct funding for abortion. We're talking about a billion dollars in taxpayer funding for abortion under the guise of addressing the Coronavirus.

What I can find online is saying she is holding fast, so reports of an agreement were premature.
