Senate Democratic Chief Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) introduced that Senate Democrats will try to go $2,000 stimulus checks.
Schumer tweeted:
The Home will go a invoice to offer People $2,000 checks. Then I’ll transfer to go it within the Senate.
No Democrats will object.
Will Senate Republicans?

Schumer goes to make Republicans object and block $2,000 stimulus checks somewhat greater than per week earlier than essential Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) said on Sunday that he opposes $2,000 stimulus checks, so it could not be stunning if Mitch McConnell despatched Toomey out to take the bullet for his get together. Sen. Toomey is retiring and never operating for reelection in 2022, so he has nothing to lose by wanting like a heartless jerk who is obstructing assist for thousands and thousands of individuals in the course of a pandemic.
Senate Republicans blocked $1,200 stimulus checks, so it’s a certainty that they’ll object and block $2,000 checks. It’s horrible political optics that undoes the parable that Loeffler and Perdue in Georgia delivered pandemic assist to the folks of Georgia.
Schumer and the Democrats won’t get the extra stimulus this week, but when they play their playing cards proper that would win the Georgia runoffs and management of the Senate.
