House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday stated that more stimulus checks should not be limited to people who are making less than $40,000 per year, which was suggested by a top GOP senator this week.

“I think there are many families, depending on the size of the family, so many different things, that $40,000 would have to explained, justified, the rest,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. “I think families making over $40,000 probably need assistance, again, depending on their family situation.”
