Emerging story

On Monday, December 21, 2020, Congress passed a $900 billion economic relief omnibus package (CARES Act 2.0) meant to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The next day, Trump said that the $600 stimulus check passed by Congress was “ridiculously low” and “a disgrace," and that stimulus checks should be $2000.

Pelosi immediately responded on Twitter, saying “Let’s do it!”

Following her tweet, many took to social media to say that Pelosi has been blocking higher stimulus checks for months.
