The fate of President Donald Trump's call for an increase in pandemic stimulus checks to $2,000 was in doubt Tuesday as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked Democrats' initial attempt to approve higher payments. All eyes are on McConnell and whether he will allow a bill increasing the one-time payments from $600 to $2,000. The Kentucky Republican did not indicate whether any measure would be brought to the Senate floor. Instead, the GOP leader outlined three priorities the president demanded Congress examine, linking the increased stimulus payments with Trump's calls to repeal Section 230 that allows big tech companies legal immunity and an examination of election integrity after Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud after his defeat.
