That's why it's a bluff.

McConnell is trying to kill the $2,000 by attaching it to something nobody wants in 230 repeal. Put the ball back in his court by saying if it gets help to the American People we are willing to do it. Then let him sweat out how to find another way from bringing the bill to the floor. He's doing this for two reasons.

He and most of his members don't want to increase the checks, but he also doesn't want to put it out there just before the GA vote. So fuck him, tell him we are in and make him be the one to either pull it back or put it up there and have the republicans vote it down just before election day. 230 isn't going anywhere and even if it did, people would be demanding it be reinstated in a month.
