President Trump’s last-minute about-face on the size of stimulus checks for most Americans to help deal with the economic harm caused by the coronavirus pandemic has turned Washington upside down only days before a new Congress is sworn in.

Trump’s negotiators had agreed to $600 per person in stimulus checks and had gotten that measure through both the Democratic-controlled House and the Republican-controlled Senate before Christmas.The bill the payments were wrapped into was a typically flawed mixture of needed spending and slabs of Jimmy Dean-sized pork.

But Trump’s White House had itself requested much of the pork — including the foreign aid he’s now railing against — and never called for $2,000 per person checks until the bill had.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said top Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer of "trying to pull a fast one," warning in a floor speech Wednesday that there was "no realistic path" to quickly approve larger stimulus checks for Americans contending with the coronavirus pandemic. McConnell accused Pelosi and Schumer of attempting to "warp" President Trump’s call for $2,000 direct payments to Americans.The majority leader said the Senate would not separate a vote on $2,000 stimulus checks from a bill backed by GOP leaders that includes the establishment of a commission to investigate election fraud and a repeal of Section 230, the measure which protects social media platforms from liability over third-party posts.

The legislation was brought as a "suspension" measure, meaning the House needed two-thirds of members present to vote in favor to move the bill forward.The House narrowly cleared that hurdle, with 130 Republicans, two Democrats and both of the House's independents voting against the measure.
