Yes, because if they included the 2k checks we wouldn't have any stimulus at all. Great plan.

It does seem like isolating it from the rest of the bill destroyed the worry about the cost. Everyone can understand it costs money, but they see that directly related to the cash to them.

There would never have been any plan if the Dems demanded $2000 dollar checks for it. There would be nothing at all.

There's a difference btw demanding it and giving it a real effort. We could've passed a version of this deal with $2000 checks in the House to begin with. If the Senate kept it at $600 it'd be negotiated in conference. Not sure why everyone acts like conference isn't a thing.

Not necessarily arguing against the underlying point but the number of Republicans would drop significantly if Trump hadn’t said he supported $2k. Don’t think they’re going to remain Keynesian under President Biden.

Dems wanted $2k for a long time but the Senate kept dismissing their bills; these GOP house members coming around to it after Trump said he wanted $2k doesn't show some newfound backbone for these members as much as simply following Trump's rants.

The House passed the bill for $2,000 checks by meeting the 2/3rds threshold for an expedited "suspendion of the rules" process.
Now
on McConnell (and Perdue, and Loeffler).
