Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said Republican senators are warming to the idea of sending out more direct payments to Americans, adding that financial relief is most likely a certainty.

President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and other Republican senators have said that stimulus legislation will likely be passed in July, coming as the $600 per month in extra unemployment benefits is slated to end.
