The Democrats will seek to approve $ 2,000 direct checks to get the Republicans in place

House Democrats are due to propose a bill Thursday to provide individuals with $ 2,000 direct checks after President Trump urged Congress to amend a newly passed coronavirus relief bill to increase direct payments $ 2,000, with $ 4,000 for a pair. Spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi said the House will seek to pass the bill unanimously – meaning only a Republican member who opposes the proposal needs to be in attendance to block the bill.
