Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked a vote on a House bill on Tuesday that would increase stimulus checks to Americans from $600 to $2,000.

On Wednesday, McConnell has introduced his own bill to make the stimulus increase that also addresses two other Trump demands.

According to Fox News:

The legislation would also repeal Section 230, the controversial liability protection for online platforms, and create a committee on the Election Assistance Commission to study election integrity.

McConnell set the table for a bill to address these three issues in his floor remarks Tuesday.

“During this process, the president highlighted three additional issues of national significance he would like to see Congress tackle together,” McConnell said, before listing off the president’s grievances about the amount of the stimulus payment, Section 230 and the election.

…

The remarks were not a firm promise that any of these issues would receive a vote or that McConnell would push particularly hard for them. And McConnell’s bill itself is unlikely to gain the support of the 60 senators that would be needed to break a filibuster. Some Republicans, especially the handful who have already said they favor $2,000 stimulus checks, would likely back the bill, but most Democrats probably will not vote for it due to the other issues McConnell’s bill addresses.

President Trump continues to press Republicans to pass the $2,000 stimulus payments. It is unclear if he will be able to get McConnell to move on a bill that will gain Democrat support in the House and the Senate.
