It looks like President-elect Joe Biden says there may be a $2,000 stimulus check after all.
According to WOOD, while Biden was campaigning in Georgia for senate candidates Warnock and Ossoff, he made a pitch to voters there would likely be a $2,000 stimulus check if the two Democrats win each of their perspective races.
So far it looks like President-elect Biden may have to fulfill a promise right out the gate as Raphael Warnock was on his senate seat in Georgia and Jon Ossoff is currently leading in his race.
I can t tell you how soon those checks will come out because there will need to be some approval but my guess would be shortly after the inauguration.

Arizona’s 11 Electoral Votes Challenged by GOP Senator, Reps During Joint Session
More than 60 Republican House representatives led by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and one senator objected to Arizona’s 11 electoral votes during the Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday.
Their objection “complies with the law,” said Vice President Mike Pence, the president of the Senate during the Joint Session of Congress.
Gosar said that the GOP representatives and a senator objected “on the ground that they were not under all of the known circumstances, regularly given.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) stood on the floor as the GOP senator who objected to Arizona’s votes. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said he would join in Arizona’s electoral objection. Marshall also said he’ll object to the electoral votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania, according to CNN. “That’s absolutely correct,” he told the network about objecting to those three states.
