The Senate appears to be in a stand-off situation Tuesday afternoon, involving votes on two large pieces of legislation. Itâs unclear how long into the week it will stretch, and when, or if, increased aid to Americans could come.
The Senate was slated to consider the Houseâs measure passed Monday night increasing direct payments to individuals in the COVID relief package from $600 to $2,000, as well as hold an override vote on the national defense bill.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked an attempt by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to approve increasing the direct payments by a unanimous vote.
