- Missouri Senator Josh Hawley plans to go to the Senate floor to ask for an up or down vote on a second round of $1,200 stimulus checks this Friday.
- The current stimulus package reportedly includes $600 stimulus checks, but Sen. Hawley and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders have been fighting for more substantial aid.
- Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says no one is leaving town until a stimulus package passes.
If everything goes according to plan, Congress will pass another major stimulus package before the weekend is up, providing billions of dollars to fund vaccine distribution, additional unemployment insurance, the Paycheck Protection Program, and even a new round of stimulus checks for Americans. Unfortunately, those stimulus checks will likely be much smaller than they were the first time around -- between $600-700 -- but one senator is going to do whatever he can to push his colleagues to send Americans the cash that they so desperately need.
