Pelosi to Bring $2,000 Direct Payments to Vote on Monday
by Masooma Haq

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she will call House members back on Monday to hold a recorded vote on the $2,000 direct payment measure requested by President Donald Trump.

“Monday, I will bring the House back to a session where we will hold a recorded vote on our standalone bill to increase economic impact payments to $2,000,” Pelosi said in a statement. “To vote against this bill is to deny the financial hardship that families face and to deny them the relief they need,” she added.

On Tuesday Trump criticized the omnibus spending package that had been finalized by Congress on Monday, saying that more money was going to foreign countries and lobbyists than to the American people.

He urged Congress to increase direct payments to American families from $600 to $2,000.
