UPDATE: Crying Chuck Does As Well:
SCHUMER: “We spent months trying to secure $2K checks but Republicans blocked it. Trump needs to sign the bill to help people & keep the gov’t open & we’re glad to pass more aid Americans need. Maybe Trump can finally make himself useful and get Republicans not to block it again”

A lot has happened in the last few hours.
Pelosi has officially agreed with President Trump that the amount of COVID relief that is given to Americans should be increased to $2000.
Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it! https://t.co/Th4sztrpLV

Will she also agree to cut out all of the wasteful spending?
She called $600 “significant”:

Of course, she admitted to stalling relief due to the election:

We reported on Trump’s VETO threat:
President Trump just announced he will VETO the COVID relief bill unless Congress boosts the amount per person to 2000.
He also called out all the pork that was added to this bill.
The bottom line is that Americans lose with this bill.

BREAKING – President Trump asks Congress to increase relief from $600 to at least $2.000 per person or he will veto the #COVID19 relief bill.

Good on President Trump.
This is what winning looks like.
We can’t let the swamp win.
Trump asks that Congress go back and write a proper bill—one that gives $2000 per person or $4000 for every couple, without the Pakistani gender studies and Burmese military funding that will all go to purchasing arms from Russia.

HIDDEN in the 5,893 page bill that @realDonaldTrump is anticipated to VETO is a provision that says:
“Nullifies the President’s use of the Insurrection Act.”
