The House on Monday voted to beef up stimulus checks set to go out to American households in the coming weeks from $600 to $2,000, acting swiftly after President Trump demanded the larger payments in threatening to reject the broader covid relief and government funding bill that contained them.
Trump signed the massive bill that included the $600 checks on Sunday evening, but he pledged to continue pushing for the larger payments. Approving stimulus checks of $2,000 would add several hundred billion dollars to the price of an aid bill that congressional Republicans had sought to keep under $1 trillion.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democrats eagerly embraced Trump’s call for larger checks, while ignoring his complaints about other parts of the massive bill, including spending on foreign aid and environmental programs.

Looks like the Trump-Pelosi alliance is a thing.
