Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday blocked an attempt to vote on the $2,000 stimulus checks approved by the House, but resurrected the higher payments in a new bill that includes other on President Trump s wish list: The creation of a commission to study election fraud and the repeal of Section 230, which shields social media companies from lawsuits.
