White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told Fox in an interview Tuesday that the $600-per-week enhancement to unemployment benefits will probably not be extended in the next round of pandemic relief.

“I frankly do not believe the $600 plus up will survive the next round of talks, but I think we’ll have substitutes to deal with that issue,” Kudlow told Fox News.
