- After a bill to increase stimulus checks to $2,000 passed the House on Monday, Senator Chuck Schumer asked the Senate to take up the bill, but Mitch McConnell objected.
- McConnell then introduced a bill to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, establish a committee to examine voter fraud, and increase stimulus checks.
- McConnell knows that his bill won't pass, effectively killing $2,000 stimulus checks.
On Monday, the House of Representatives passed the CASH Act -- a bill that would increase the stimulus checks in the latest COVID-19 relief package from $600 to $2,000. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer then attempted to pass the bill by unanimous consent on Tuesday afternoon, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell objected, pledging to "begin a process" to address issues with the omnibus bill raised by the president.
In the rant he filmed for Twitter last week, President Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the $2.3 trillion bill that would fund the government and provide economic relief for millions of struggling Americans. Trump finally signed the bill on Sunday, but he also released a statement in which he said that in addition to boosting the stimulus checks, he wants Congress to terminate or reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and "focus strongly" on the voter fraud that took place in the 2020 election, for which there continues to be no evidence.
Rather than address these issues individually, McConnell plans to combine them into a single bill that has no chance of passing the Senate or the House, effectively killing $2,000 stimulus checks.
