McConnell Blocks $2,000 Stimulus, Despite Pressure From Trump
On Tuesday, the senate’s vote to increase the stimulus check from $600 to $2,000 was blocked by none other than Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
This attempt to raise the stimulus check was not only proposed by Democrats, but is now supported by outgoing GOP President Donald Trump, who has been tweeting out his support for the $2,000 amount since last week.
