Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff Says Trump is Right About $2000 Stimulus Checks
On 12/23/20 at 11:00 AM EST
While appearing on C
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.

On Tuesday’s “CNN Tonight,” Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff said that President Donald Trump’s criticism of the direct payments in the coronavirus relief bill is correct and Congress “should send $2,000 checks to the American people right now.”
Ossoff said, “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. 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. And David Perdue, my opponent, who opposed even the first round of $1,200 checks imagine that, imagine a sitting U.S. senator, who was profiting from the pandemic buying medical and vaccine stocks, opposed even the first single round of $1,200 checks, has obstructed direct relief for the last eight months, and now decided he wanted to cut it
