rt sanders that's great! i first introduced a bill to provide a 2,000 direct payment with kamala harris &amp; @edmarkey 7 months ago. now, mr. president, get mitch mcconnell and your republican friends to stop opposing it and we can provide working class americans with 2,000. let's do it.  qt pelosi republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the president wanted for direct checks. at last, the president has agreed to 2,000 — democrats are ready to bring this to the floor this week by unanimous consent. let’s do it!
