Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he will attempt to pass a bill to increase the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000 on Tuesday after the House passed the measure on Monday night.
“Tomorrow I will move to pass the legislation in the Senate to quickly deliver Americans with $2,000 emergency checks. Every Senate Democrat is for this much-needed increase in emergency financial relief, which can be approved tomorrow if no Republican blocks it—there is no good reason for Senate Republicans to stand in the way,” Schumer said in a statement after the House voted 275-134 to pass the $2,000 stimulus payments measure.
