In an email to us, @SpeakerPelosi is asking for Unanimous Consent to bring a stand-alone bill to increase the payments to $2,000 & wants to pass it tomorrow morning. If McCarthy agrees to the request and no Republican objects, we should have a bill to the Senate by 10am tomorrow.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is asking for unanimous consent from members in moving a revised Covid19 stimulus bill through the House, it was revealed today.
The bill would be a stand-alone bill, meaning it would cover only stimulus checks sent to individual Americans.
Last night, President Trump rejected a bill Congress spent months putting together saying it contained too much wasteful spending and not enough help for Americans. The amount of relief contained in that bill was $600 to American taxpayers.

If the unanimous consent moves forward without objection from House Republicans the revised bill could reach the Senate by tomorrow morning.
