The U.S House approves $2k payments to Americans, the final tally, is however up to Republicans

As it has been several times throughout 2020. As of Monday evening, the House narrowly managed to pass a measure that would increase the stimulus checks to $2k. In that passing, they managed to get along the Dem side at least 44 Republicans to vote along with the measure. Thus, as I usually is, the real test will be whether or not the Senate actually takes up the issue which is ultimately up to McConnell.

The Washington Post reports that the Senate may convene on the issue on Tuesday, but, it is unknown how McConnell will move. Although it’s worth noting, the fate of the Senate is up in the air and Mitch is getting pretty desperate to keep it. Right now, Senator Loeffler and Perdue are both neck and neck with the Democrats in the state. The end result of the GA Senate runoff ultimately will either keep or flip the Senate.
