President Joe Biden backs a $75,000 limit on income for people who would get $1,400 stimulus checks under a House proposal for the CCP virus relief bill.

That amount is $25,000 higher than than the income limit sought by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.)  whose crucial vote the Democrats would likely need should they choose to push the legislation through using the budget-reconciliation procedure which requires a simple majority to pass.
