“Bottom line: There is absolutely no sign right now that a standalone bill on $2,000 checks is going to get a vote on the Senate floor. It looks like McConnell is simply going to run out the clock. There were several opportunities on Tuesday when McConnell could have made that assurance or let Democrats pass the bill with a unanimous consent agreement that would have shielded his members from having to take a potentially tough vote.
”
Senator McConnell hates poor American just a little more than he loves President Trump. It’s a close call but the dislike for the majority of the residents of his state and many other states is clear and convincing. Even Trump’s prodding is not moving the needle on this legislation.
