Bernie Sanders And Josh Hawley Join Forces To Push For More Stimulus Checks
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) teamed up on Thursday to introduce an amendment that would provide another round of direct payments to Americans as lawmakers struggle to reach a deal on another coronavirus relief package.
The political odd couple ― one a leader of the progressive movement and the other a staunch conservative and ally of President Donald Trump ― says members of Congress shouldn’t leave town for the holidays without providing more help for the income hits so many Americans have endured during the health crisis.
“It is absolutely imperative that we provide $1,200 for every working-class adult and $500 for each of their children ... Congress cannot go home until we address this crisis,” Sanders said in a floor speech.
