NN Tonight with Don Lemon, Ossoff was asked about Trump's decision to upend the stimulus package that was passed by Congress on Monday. The bill, which was worth $900 billion, included direct payments to eligible Americans worth $600, half the amount for the stimulus checks issued via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in March.
"I don't know where President Trump has been for the last eight months, while his allies in the U.S. Senate have been blocking this relief," Ossoff said. "President Trump is, as ever, erratic and all over the place, but on this point, tonight, he's right. $600 is a joke. They should send $2,000 checks to the American people right now because people are hurting."
