WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday she will summon lawmakers back to work on Monday to vote on a bill that increases COVID-19 stimulus payments to $2,000.

"On Monday, I will bring the House back to session where we will hold a recorded vote on our stand-alone bill to increase economic impact payments to $2,000," Pelosi said in a statement, adding that she urged Republican President Donald Trump to sign legislation that funds the U.S. government and offers COVID relief funding to American businesses and families.

"To vote against this bill is to deny the financial hardship that families face and to deny them the relief they need."

Pelosi has no leverage. Democrats House has dwindled down to just 222 members(80 yr low). Red wave swallowed them up on Nov 3
The bill eliminates School Choice and contains more PORK than a ******farm. g eff t did of the garbage, including "gender studies" in Pakistan, then pay out $2,000 or more to Anericans and how deserve and need it.

You and I both know all those other country funding bills are designed for American military interests in nation. They’re pretty much all just military slush funds for whatever country is listed.

Trump was right this time. That bill had so much pork and contribution to foreign countries that had nothing to do with covid relief. What a scam - $600 for American which is not even enough to pay one month rent
So the answer is to postpone it another seven months? People are going to be evicted the day after Christmas and the government is totally alright with that apparently.
lol 600 stimulus to American's while the bill has garbage like 10 million for gender studies in pakistan. What worthless degenerates.
Trump ain't gonna sign **** Stimulus will have to wait til his ******gets kicked out the WH.
It is too late for Americans in the USA. We will see many evictions next month.
Let them get evicted. There were and are plenty of jobs. 6.7 unemployment
