It’s not that this strategy isn’t obvious to anyone paying attention. “Senator McConnell knows how to turn $ 2,000 survival checks into reality, and he knows how to kill them,” Senator Chuck Schumer said in a statement Tuesday evening. “When Senator McConnell tries to surcharge the bipartisan, House-passed CASH Act with unrelated, partisan provisions that do absolutely nothing to get families across the country in trouble.”
There is a way – if Trump really means it, when he says everyone should have $ 2,000 – to do this. Adam Jentleson, former Harry Reid and Senate deputy chief of staff, stated on a tweet thread. “If Trump wants the checks so badly, he should ask Pence to chair him (VP is President of the Senate. Under Senate rules, soil detection goes to the Senator who addresses the President first.” Pence could detect a Senator who does Presidency puts bill to vote. “The rule, he says, is,” The senator who goes to the chairman first is recognized and left to the chairman’s judgment. “The key to that would be Pence, who would act for Trump McConnell Jentleson said, “having to hold his conference and the confrontation would put the GOP senators in place and put them between Trump and McConnell. I wonder which side aspiring 2024s would vote for.”
We’ll know more about how McConnell plans to go about Wednesday afternoon. He is calling the Senate in a live quorum call at 5:00 p.m. ET to try to override Trump’s veto of the Defense Approval Act. Senator Bernie Sanders intends to block these efforts until McConnell also plans a clean vote on the $ 2,000 survival check. All of this results in McConnell having to file a cloture vote to move to the veto override, which will delay the Senate and force it to attend the session on Friday New Years Day.
