Over the weekend, President
Trump signed into law a relief package that will bring a second stimulus check to millions of Americans, but it is only for $600, an amount both Democrats and the president don t think is enough. They would like to see it increased to $2,000, but since the new bill is already signed, $600 checks will start going out in the coming days. That doesn t mean the amount won t increase though. This week, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would bring the check to $2,000 with two-thirds of the chamber in favor of it - both Democrats and Republicans. Now it has to pass the Senate and if it does, checks for $1,400 will then be distributed. However for that to happen, it might take a fight.
