What was the vote split


I haven't been able to find the actual members yet, but did find this.

The bill, which passed in a 275 - 134 vote

So, you know, just pick a random 134 republican senators and there you go.

There are businesses near me closing early or closing completely because they're paying people more money to sit at home than working.

What's next: Now that the bill has passed the House with Republican votes, it will put Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a tough position of having to decide whether to bring the provision to the floor in the Senate as a standalone bill.

uh-oh. so still not happening but an effort was made ^^

Questions

1.) When does the senate vote
and
2.) Is this JUST $2000 or is this $2000 plus a million other unrelated things in the bill?

Should be just the $2000. The bill with $600 stimulus payments and a bunch of other stuff was signed yesterday, AFAIK this is basically just an amendment to the stimulus amount.

If there's actually Republicans in the Senate willing to vote for this then they need to align with the Dems simply for this vote and select a replacement Majority Leader so Mitch can't block it.

Wow, I'm actually shocked that many Republicans voted for it

Shocked enough to be kind of hopeful that it happens

But I'm still just assuming it'll be $600

He wants to override Trump's veto of the defense bill and Bernie has already said he'll block that from happening until they vote on the checks

Idk if he can actually do that but I can dream damn it

He can if he gets the dems behind him. Mitch won't bring the vetoed bill up without being sure he has the votes to, so Sander and the dems can just tell Mitch "we'll vote no on the override unless you give us the vote on the checks."

That would be amazing. I am honestly a little worried about the defense bill not getting unvetoed. If we could get the defense bill and the 2k 2021 is looking great.

There are businesses near me closing early or closing completely because they're paying people more money to sit at home than working.

Then those businesses should pay their employees a livable wage in the first place, instead of less than literal unemployment benefits.

If they can't afford to pay their employees a livable wage, they're either horribly mismanaged, outright corrupt, or not providing a viable product for their market. In any case, they shouldn't be in business any more.

Bernie and another guy wont let the defense spending bill go through until Mitch puts the stim bill on the floor in the senate for a vote so Mitch will probably have no choice
