House Republicans on Thursday blocked a bid by Democrats to pass President Donald Trump’s call for $2,000 direct payments to most Americans as part of a COVID-19 relief bill.
In a $900 billion bipartisan bill passed Monday, millions of Americans are set to receive $600 from the federal government, half the amount they received after the first relief bill was passed in March. Trump has implied that he might veto the bill and called for $2,000 checks.
