GOP Georgia senators throw support behind $2,000 stimulus checks
Sens. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) on Tuesday threw their support behind a President Trump-backed effort to increase the amount of recently passed stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000.
The endorsement from the two senators - who are sticking closely with President Trump as they fight for their political lives in next week's Georgia runoff elections - comes after the legislation passed the House on Monday in a 275-134 vote.
"I'm delighted to support the president in this $2,000. ... So I fully support what the president is doing right now," Perdue said during an interview with Fox News on Tuesday.
