Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hasn't yet responded to President Trump demanding Tuesday night that Congress include $2,000 stimulus checks in the coronavirus aid package that it passed on Monday, which included smaller $600 checks for individuals.
As the head of the Republican Senate majority, McConnell will be key to whether or not there is any movement on Trump's demands. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., meanwhile has said she will bring the $2,000 checks to the House floor and attempt to pass them by unanimous consent. That will happen on Thursday.
The president has five days to sign the bill or the government will shut down.
