Another batch of stimulus checks could be coming for some Americans still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic.
In recent weeks, President Trump and key administration officials have signaled they want to include a second cash payment in the next coronavirus relief package. However, it’s unclear how much money Americans may receive when the checks go out.
“I support actually larger numbers than the Democrats, but it’s got to be done properly,” Trump said last week during an interview with FOX Business’ Blake Burman. “I want the money getting to people to be larger so they can spend it. I want the money to get there quickly and in a noncomplicated fashion.”
Negotiations between Congress and the Trump administration on another round of virus-related stimulus are set to intensify later this month once Senate lawmakers return to Washington from their two-week Fourth of July break.
That gives lawmakers just two weeks to reach an agreement on legislation: The House is scheduled to start its recess by Aug. 3, and the Senate is expected to follow one week later. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he wants to finish work on the next round of aid before August. The earliest we may see a vote would be in late July.
