House Democrats, aligning themselves with President Donald Trump, plan to vote Monday on legislation increasing the direct payments in the coronavirus stimulus bill to $2,000 per person if Republicans block their efforts to pass it Thursday.
The checks would be more than three times the $600 approved by Congress in the stimulus package approved earlier this week.
House Democratic leaders will first plan to try to pass the higher payments Thursday through an unanimous consent procedure that requires every Republican to go along. If that fails, lawmakers will bring a separate bill to the floor on Monday.
