Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) again said that stimulus payments should be $2,000 per month, not $1,200 or an extra $600 per week for people who collect unemployment insurance.

“Together, with [Senators] Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey, I’m proposing that we have not just that one-time check of $1,200,” Harris said in an interview last week.
