The head of the House Democrats’ progressive wing defended the $1,400 checks in President Joe Biden’s coronavirus stimulus bill on Sunday, while a GOP governor called for scaling back the package and the No. 2 House Republican dismissed polls showing strong support for the $1.9 trillion measure.
The comments came as the House prepared to vote this week on the stimulus bill under a process known as reconciliation that will prevent a Senate filibuster and allow the Democrats to pass the legislation by majority vote without any Republican support.

On Friday the Democrats unveiled their most recent version of the $1.9 trillion COVID relief legislation that the Biden Administration has been promising since “Day One”.
Recall that Nancy Pelosi blocked all efforts by the Trump Administration to pass such legislation prior to the election for the purpose of preserving suffering by Americans as a Democrat party issue.
“No sacrifice is too great for the American public to endure if it means getting more Democrats elected to office.” That’s straight from the Democrat Party Platform at the DNC telethon back in July I’m sure I read it in there somewhere.
