It will likely pass in the Democratic controlled House, while voting will only "start" in the Republican controlled Senate.
Lock him up.

turtleman moskovich brings it to the floor?
Surely Alaskans want the extra $1,400 (or is it the full $2K?).

So we're still in suspense. One would think that any senator would support this to benefit their constituents, but who knows with the majority that follows McConnell? But I agree that Romney and Murkowski are the best bet for a "yes" vote.

(11,885 posts)6. trumps stunt was backfiring on him and for republicans
And had to sign it as more of his followers are turning on him, and now republicans are going to have to explain why they refuse to give the American people $2000 in a direct check. trump lost GA for republicans now. If trump fails to pressure the GOP Congress to pass the remaining $1400 in stimulus relief , it shows he never really wanted it, and it was again all lies.
