Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, attempted to pass the change to the omnibus spending bill through a unanimous consent request on the Senate floor, but any senator can halt passage of legislation that way. McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, objected to the request.The House passed the increase to stimulus payments on Monday with wide bipartisan support.
Schumer urged the Senate to join Trump and the House to increase the size of the checks, arguing that"working Americans have taken it on the chin" during the pandemic."The fastest way to get money into Americans pockets, is to send some of their tax dollars right back from where they came," he said.

He should; Democrats should not use Trump’s personal interest against republicans . It’s looks like a political game.
Damn pompous tyrant greedy old fart Moscow Mitch McConnell is
McConnell IS NOT HUMAN.
this guy turtle face is blocking POTUS, request to issue a $2,000.00 stimulus check, like this coming from his pocket.
Got Georgia on mind & my pocket... Those two seats are vital. 🗳
Pay it!!!
What a disgusting American. Tax cuts increasing the deficit are fine, but help for the average American, will increase the deficit and must be stopped. So typical of the Republican Party. Wake up America.
McConnel is another that is losing his mind, following closely by Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama and Oprah.. That is what is wrong with Washington, get these people out!!! and let the pigs run it like AOC and her gang..
Millionaires running our government. Congress is a Fraternity Row where one side has made it a dick measuring contest at the expense of the American citizens, who ironically finance it all. They’ve never missed a paycheck!
Mitch needs to be replaced how dare them send billions to other countries for BS and not help Americans and Trump is our president and has to stay our president or good bye America it will be a communist country every person controlled by Washington they all have to go and every
The senate majority leader runs the senate like his own little empire he has the right of first recognition before any other senator gets to speak as the ok'd saying goes majority does overrule
stock market crash1929, causes, Production declined,unemployment risen, leaving stocks in great excess of their real value.other causes low wages, proliferation of debt,famine,excess of large bank loans that could not be liquidated. Seems Mitch is keen to repeat
People of Georgia STOP Mitch McConnell and his mean tactics! He is protecting people who have money not you!!! Elect the 2 Democratic Senators. McConnell needs to RETIRE, start by making him a Minority Leader in the US Senate! No one can live on $600.00 a month!! $2,000 is needed
Mcconnell its so unfair that you would put a block on money that the American citizens need I'M NOT SURPRISED YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HAVING A HARD TIME PAYING YOUR RENT OR FEED YOUR CHILDREN. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING ALL YOU DID WAS MAKE AMERICA MAD.
move ya ass... sits on thousands of dollars monthly salary and keeps those who need it on the waiting list. Boo!
ㄱ
Yeah denied $2000 for the American people but give millions and millions of dollars to other countries plus you guys take a pay raise plus you guys buy new furniture I see where your priorities are at 💯
Figures he’d be the buttmunch who would block it. This joke needs to go.
One of his reasons for going against it was that he said dead people would be getting checks, that logic does not matter, because they cannot cash them. He is sitting in his mansion with Servants, he is so cut off from the real world, it’s ridiculous
Some Republicans are really stingy freaking people
Another hold up by turtle Moscow Mitch
Mitch McConnell is the physical embodiment of evil.
Old fucxxx!
Lmao!!! Why am I not surprise? This is who McConnell is and basically this is Republicans mentality. How many middle class Republicans could've used $2000? Y'all printing billions of dollars everyday. What difference does it make? Doesn't the Senate work for the people
No surprise, Moscow Mitch only assists the wealthy, and his big donors.
Next time they tell us this is the richest country in the world all the most powerful country in the world or the best democracy in the world.....
We need to flip the Senate seats so we the people will not continue going through this
Stimulus hit
Good Job KY this is what you voted for. Hope y’all don’t need the damn help. Don’t wanna hear shit about how bad things are when you put this POS in power
I’m drowning in medical bills
McConnell gets his big paycheck & free insurance tho! I call that welfare!
This is the one need to be blamed, not China , not President Trump, not Nancy. This is the one guy that blocked the bill and put 300 millions Americans in disaster.
He’s just evil.... you could tell by his looks he’s no good!
Oooooooh suprise...........
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼Not cool!
There is enough money for tax breaks to the wealthy. A bazillion for the military? Sure! We’ve got that. Return money to taxpayers? Sorry. We’re broke. So says those who haven’t suffered one moment of inconvenience during this.
TurnGeorgiaBlue FlipTheSenate January 5th and put this heartless ghoul in his place.
we need the 2 grand shame on you McConnell
When one person has the ability to block legislation so many Americans desperately need, it’s an indication of a need to review the effectiveness of the system of checks and balances in our government.
He belongs in a in a Old Folks Home !
Our government has gone to shit; I blame both sides. It’s all about them and not us.
Who voted for this guy and why?
Republican senators need to vote him out if they want save credibility with their constituents. They forget citizens only special interest. All Americans deserve the check -certain income. What about working healthcare frontline workers? & essential workers have jobs deserve $
Kentuckyjerk
Nothing new with Moscow Mitch.
Okay, is it just me or does it feel like we are all Britney Spears and Mitch McConnell is our daddy? Just give us our money, bitch.
How swamp like.
Karma, what you put out, you get back
Clearly he needs to go
We all know he is going to create a separate bill with other partisan controversial items added. He knows it will be voted down in the House. So he gets his way, placates Trump and gets to blame it on the Democrats. .
It will come when the real president takes office.
He doesn’t want the increase so he will tie it to other things and make the Democrats vote it down.
The fake media & the DEMS are in a perpetual games in deception! And the Country suffers for it! And the struggle s continue!
The most scariest words in the English language are I'm from the government and I'm here to help
McConnell is a peace of shit.
Mother fucker
This guy is the devil
Shocker. What the hell is wrong with the majority of Kentuckians? Who votes for this joker?
Shame on him!!!!!!!!
Mitch is annoying. He's busy playing with people over something personal.
Why does this man not want to help the America people? It’s not like he personally has to pay the $2000 grand. Does he not have any compassion.
Deep state Mitch with CCP wife
Shame on you and the other republicans that disagree with the 2,000 wait for when all are do for re-election let’s see how that goes
NOW , tell the public why. Because the price is too big from the DEMs to give BIG Corporate business Huge bail outs that should be going to small business an individuals
Why are you blocking this stimulas and people starving to dead.
This man is a abomination and should be removed from his position let’s strip his salary and give him $600 seems highly appropriate to me.That’s OK he is handing the Senate over to the Democrats by blocking approval of this $2000.
2 weeks ago he was criticizing Democrats for going so slow. Wtf Mitch! Hypocrite
Wow let's see if McConnell could live on a stimulus of 600 instead. I am certain he is not worried about where his next paycheck is coming from or that he had to close his business due to covid. Instead of helping the people, he hurts them. His actions are a disgrace.
Why does he hate people (under 1%) so much
I hope Georgia is watching! Do you folks need stimulus more than those rich folks in Kentucky!?!? ossoff ReverendWarnock GeorgiansVoteRevWarnockAndOssoffToSaveAmerica stimulus
Stop feeding the SOB. Let him try it out for himself.
Don’t believe the hype... McConnell & Trump were never going to increase the checks. Think about it? When if, ever, did the Republicans ever do anything without lining their own pockets? Dismiss this as complete bullshit! Still trying to overturn the election.
I never knew Kentucky was full of sheep. Yet they still keep this in office.
Please note that it was senatemajldr who does not want to put money in the American voters pocket. Kentucky, please get it right next time and vote this old fool OUT. GOPChairwoman NBCNews realDonaldTrump
What do this oldie want ? What's wrong with republicans ?
McConnell only cares about himself. And his Chinese bank account. Like Trump has. He's a criminal.
Mitch is anti American
Satan's Angels hard at work GOPHypocrisy
You can buy like 4 PS5's!!!
Denied by the man who is worth 22 million dollars. Just remember all of you that voted him in, that's his fuck you to you!
Mitch’s home state of Kentucky had the 5th lowest per capita income of all 50 states for 2020... just in case anyone is wondering how diligently he’s working for his people
Let's vote ourselves more stimulus!!! and more after that! Its all free!!! Yay!!!
It has nothing to do about the stimulus pkg. increase. It has everything to do about Trump’s never ending claims of voter fraud. As much as $2k would help I absolutely don’t want the the Republicans to be able to squash the Jan. 6th Electoral college confirmation.
mc connell is a snake
What an ass!
Worst human being on the planet. Completely heartless 🤯
Hey McConnell, why don’t you pay all my hospital bills from this virus? Being I’m a single mom and could really use the help... Screw you while you sit happy in money while you’re fellow Americans suffer. We should have been getting $2000 every month like other countries.
It figures! He’s rich, he doesn’t care. 😠
Not surprising, considering he’s the richest senator representing the poorest state in the union. he’s a pro at what he does, holding down his knee on the American people with a glimpses of hope. Karma
When one guy can block stuff like this. Is he really doing his job?
Why Trump helped this China Biden get re-elected he is part of the cesspool
another time? like once Biden takes Office?
McConnell is disgusting.
How do you support Donald Trump and support Moscow Mitch when he goes against your dear leader? Trumpers please explain?
McConnell needs all his raise‘s denied, he doesn’t care about the American people, so sad what this country has become, People are hurting, losing there homes, can’t pay there Rent, Heat electricity, little Food Wake up Congress
GOP Leaders won't help the people, never accepted Public Health advice, downplayed the pandemic at every turn, and yet, all got vaccinated ahead of the people who are struggling
You act like it’s your money!!!!
Is much rather see this money make its way into the hands of those who really need it. We seem to be bleeding money, and we don’t seem to have a plan on paying it back... I don’t want my kids having to figure this all out years from now.
If Republicans thinks this is handout , do they realize all of us still waiting on vaccine that’s delayed to put everything back to normal ? So how’s it gonna be ?
MOSCOW MITCH! 🇷🇺🐢
Of course he did. I wouldn’t expect anything else from McConnell.
Oust Mitch!
If it was another tax evasion free pass bill for republicon confederate domestic terrorist party donors mitch the Russian bitch would be working overtime to pass it the bill.
VoteThemAllOut they don’t serve or care about the idiots who keep them in office!
So expected house and senate at odds , majority has to anti whatever house sent even it is all purpose for ppl of this whole country . Such shame
This is another reason one man should not have the power to block legislation. This majority rule. Must be eliminated all legislation passed by the house must and should be voted on by the Senate.
G.O.P: GRINCH ON PEOPLE. Grinch McConnell has stolen and denied Christmas hope from those who desperately needed something more than a lump of coal,as he touts DAFFY DONALD TRUMP'S exit stage song'you can't always get what you want',this supposes that'we the people can't expect
The GOP will kill and starve their voting base. I’m cool with it.
Sp
Amateur chess: Trump delays signing bill-touts $2k checks-gets media attention. Perdue & Loeffler say they will support $2k-looks like they care about Georgia.Mitch delays it (after 1/5 GA election?) All to keep the GOP Senate. CNN MSNBC nytimes ReverendWarnock ossoff ABC
Y'all vote for his ass .. Amy Mcgrath should have been the senator AmyMcGrathWon
What is he gaining by not approving the bill? He has to be getting something out of keeping much needed money from people who are suffering. There are people who are starving, not able to pay their bills and rent, and who are accumulating debt in this country who need that money
The man is still looking for his soul
What is wrong with McConnell? Doesn’t he care about the American people?
🤦🏾♀️
Of course he did because all he cares about is himself and power. I can't believe KY re-elected him.
GeorgiaVoteBlue
He's the DEVIL!!!
senatemajldr is such trash.
He is heartless. So many people are suffering and can’t pay their bills while he IS able to. He has shown he has no care or compassion for the American people. He needs to step away from his job since he doesn’t care for helping Americans when we need it most.He should be ashamed
As long as his pockets are full $
Mitch McConnell ain't shit
No thanks to every American who voted for a GOP back on Nov 2016, 2018, & 2020. Many families and individuals are suffering & dying because of your stupidly and misinformed minds. Yes, that’s for upset I am this year.
GOOD FOR MITCH....TOO MUCH 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖👍🏻👍🏻
Now let’s here trumpers talk about how pelosi holds things up again.
I know many say these checks are another step closer to socialism. Wish people would grow up and realize we are already part socialism. Other countries have fair better economically because they supported their people.
Bitch McConnell ruins the day yet a fucking 'gain 🤬🤦🏻♂️🖕
Keep voting for jerks like this and the whole GOP
The Grinch flexing his muscles - what a miserable human being he is!
Covid was not an economic issue in 2019. Why are 2019 tax returns the marker? Evaluate income from 2020. You have payroll taxes from the year. A family of 4 making $200k in 2019, couid be thru their savings by now and get nothing! yet other people not laid off will get a check?
Was their any wonder that he wouldn't block it . He is almost as bad as trump . Trump only wants the 2000$ cause he is trying to get good publicity he doesn't really care . But if we can get it we do care .
The people’s money taxes we paid
McConnell is the real life Senator Palpatine.
What a jerk. He has no concept of the suffering of the American people that this week may not have money to put food on the table.
We NEED term limits. This is not ok.
What did you expect?
Just another tuesday in america, McConnell doing everything he can to fuck the people.
How the fuck did he win re-election!! Obviously has no interest in helping Americans
What a disgrace!! Goes to show he only cares about himself and the people end up getting shafted!!
Trump NEVER wanted the people to get $2,000. His WH fought Dems for months over it. This his latest tweet only confirms that he’s just using the people as pawns to get the election that he lost overturned! And to punish Twitter that he has used so much to his advantage! Ingrate!
Moscow Mitch continues his subservience.
Riddle me this GOP voters: What is greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich don't need it, and if you eat it, you'll die?
What is wrong with this guy. I’m assuming the senate and Congress are still receiving compensation for their time. Stop that and bring them to the people’s level.
Americas government for the people
The Senate race in KY needs investigation. How was he was re-elected?
Mitch is a Dictator.
Moscow Mitch the Bitch its time to go 💯% HE IS PURE EVIL
Mitch McConnell you know that money just goes right back into the economy people need that money to survive specially when January’s going be the worst month for COVID how are we supposed to follow a stay at home order when we have no money. You may be an enemy of the state
If this one person is going to dictate the direction of the whole COUNTRY, then the WHOLE Country should elect him. Why is the Country's direction being dictated by a state full of incompetents sister breeders.
No senate majority leader should be allowed to amass this much power - he's set himself up as a dictator - he needs to be deposed & rules put in him place to prevent future problems like this
It’s funny to watch trump and the GOP turn on each other like rabid dogs
Why does he act like it’s his money. We all pay are Taxes.
Mitch is a WHOLE bitch! His day WILL COME!!
He is an oxygen thief!
Ole bastard still keeps ticking isn’t his time up take him already
Just...go away, Mitch.
🤦♂️
McConnell is a traitor to this country!!
fliptheturtle
Are you ever on your way to be PRODUCTIVE at work & a big garbage truck crawls infront you & blocks the Rd? America's BIGGEST rd block to going fwd is senatemajldr Lord, HOW LONG shall the wicked prosper? We are still allowed to pray, right?
GOP- greed over people
This is why tRUMP said it. He knew the repugnicunts in the senate would not approve of it. This was their plan from the start. If there was a chance of approval, trump would never have said it. The lies didn't just stop, repugs can't be honest.
'come another time?' The hurting American people needs the help now! Hey Old Man, you need to retire!
MitchMcConnell does not give a damn about anybody. I bet all of those who voted for him feel like a damn fool right about now
McConnell must be challenged in court. He is abusing the power of his office & preventing the elected senators from voting on bills HE PERSONALLY doesn't want passed! This is UNCONTITUTIONAL and he is essentially a dictator!
realDonaldTrump You mad at Mitch, especially since you saved him in the election?
Moscow Mitch the Bitch!
McConnell should not be allowed to block voting!!!
Covid-19 and Mitch McConnell... make a wish!!
Come on McConnell the babies are hungry!
We need more help Mr senator Please
Hope you that all voted for McConnell are happy with yourselves!!
MoscowMitchMcTraitor
KLoeffler running around claiming she would of voted yes for her lying campaign knowing McConnell would never put her in the position to do so, once again the GOP working on getting their cake & to eat it too. A vote for KLoeffler & sendavidperdue is a vote for McConnell
This guy I swear if you guys keep voting for him I guess Kentucky deserves him
They playing games with poor people same
No one man should have all this power.
Georgia....Please come through next week.
Canadians have been getting $2,000 a month since last March - they care about their citizens weal fair
Seems out of synch that one guy, elected by a little over half the voters of Kentucky (of all places), can have so much say-so over large issues that affect all of us.
senatemajldr what is problem? RU that out of touch W/what the American ppl r going through that you honestly believe $600 was going to take care of rent, heat, electric, food, insurance, internet for the kids schooling, clothes for growing kids...
Attention: Georgia voters
McConnell stopped doing his job a long time ago. He is bought and paid for. Kentuckians should be ashamed for sending him back. Slitting their own throats along with the rest of us.
Moscow Mitch further shows the American people he is an enemy of the country
GOP are a mess! The best thing Trump could do is dump them in 2024 & run as an Independent! They are just a bunch of opportunists with no real core value sets! If Trump wants to ban AR tomorrow they’d fall in line!
What’s wrong with this statement- If McConnell so chooses - why does one man get to decide?
Well trumpers can you tell it's not just your president that doesn't give a damn about you. IT'S UP TO YOU GEORGIA!!
I SEE MCCONNELL IS WORKING WITH HIS STUBBORN EVIL SPIRIT. AS WELL AS WAITING ON THE RESULTS OF JANUARY 5, 2021. ALSO THE HELL RAISING EVENT ON JANUARY 6, 2021. FOR HE WILL KNOW WHAT HE WILL DO THEN. AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE HOLY BIBLE. YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. GALATIANS 6:3-5
Just a disgrace! We need to amend the constitution, how can 1 guy stop this from happening? So the rich can get '3 martini' tax break but the working class can't get $2,000? What happens when covid is over and landlords come asking 4 back rent?
Well bring out the coffee it’s going to be a long weekend!!
If someone froze his asset he might understand what we been going through all year long.

Misleading headline, do better
slaves must not loaf
McConnell is what a fart would look like if farts were in human form!!!
Fuckin Sith Lord
I wonder what was his reasoning behind becoming the most hated man in America 😂
It is as if Mitch is trying to flip Georgia now. I guess he just wants to sit on the senate and do nothing since he won’t ever be voted out it appears.
McConnell is OUT OF TOUCH as are all the Senate Republicunts. Oh wait, no gain for them by giving the peasants more money so a NO vote. GeorgiaVoteBlueRunoff dumpmcconnell
RETWEET THIS!! Georgians, DON’T BE CONNED by flip-floppers Perdue & Loeffler, they voted against $600! Vote WARNOCK & OSSOFF and remove Mitch McConnell, the major obstacle in you getting a much needed $2000 stimulus check! This elitism cannot stand during a worldwide pandemic!
This ghoul again?
Gee, what a surprise.
Sure. McConnell just got re-elected. His job is not in jeopardy. NOW ! Stop blaming the democrats.
He is just evil.
Play and play . Approved. Índices up , gold up . End game
GEORGIA ,AMERICA NEEDS YOU TO FLIP THE SEATS.
Government can’t solve every problem, but this once in a century problem, Americans are hurting. Why is it easy for Republicans to give Tax cut to the rich and block and make things so hard to give $2000 to their own citizens. The $2000 will be spent back into the economy.
“Moscow Mitch” McConnell is the SINGLE BIGGEST BARRIER to Americans getting $2,000 covid relief checks instead of a paltry $600.😡😡😡
One man!!!?
This is making me want the dems to win in Georgia now. Thanks for nothing senatemajldr 🖕🏻
haha
Who appointed McConnell God & dictator? This is disgusting - let millions suffer so 2 more trump fools can get elected in georgia - absolutely disgusting
Why is mitch afraid of a vote
Why would he block it? What good does that do?
Denying pandemic ravaged Americans substantial Covid relief is GOPShame
One guy, but gops support, interfering with American livelihood. But he and his wife are rich b
The enemy of the American People!
Kentuckians why why y’all do this to us 😩😩😩
The only rigged election I see is McConnell still being in the senate. What a heartless turtle. I don’t like wishing ill on others but that man makes it so hard. Such a waste.
It’s long past time to abandon the US, the way the government proves time and time again that they’ve abandoned We the People.
Not true. McConnell wanted 2 separate votes. - 1 for the $ 2000 checks - 1 for the veto-override Schumer wanted it all in 1 vote. McConnell said no.
Politicians in this country are a joke.
he’s ugly for that
One man should not be able to block legislation without any recourse. The president has the veto power but even that can be overturned. Censure and remove McConnell and vote on the overwhelmingly supported legislation.
There will be no vote until Mitch loses his position. He needs to go! If Georgia comes thru, he’s GONE! He will just be a regular Congressman who votes on bills, not determine which ones that will be voted on.
Gee, what a surprise. 🖕
Aide57600218
It doesn't matter if it's $600 or $2,000. If the COVID relief bill includes millions of dollars towards foreign countries, the bill should be blocked.
MitchTheBitch
CNN, as usual, irresponsible reporting. He did block the bill; however, he said the $2,000 is UP for discussion and I think what he wants to do is make it a separate issue. He did not commit though to pushing it. It's not over people. Don't over react
Let’s go Georgia!! The time to act is NOW to take over the senate!!! Republicans continue to show they don’t care about the American ppl!!!
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer!
McConnell = 💩💩💩
McConnell needs to be removed from power.
Americas SHAME continues
McConnell never care in the begin, we can’t just evil!
China superpower on the rise..
don't worry y'all on the winter solstice i wore deer antlers like cernunnos and casted a druidic spell on the stupid fatass turkey neck turtle we're gettin that $2000 whether he likes it or not
This doesn't surprise me that Mitch mcconnell would not let this go through hes is bad as Senator Johnson I don't know why hes a senator he doesn't care about all-American people only rich American people This is a joke
This about sums this jackhole up.
Giant baby..McConnell you try living on $600 payment...you gave us...when you make $250,000...
Looks like Mitch the Bich doesn’t want to help anyone that isn’t White and Rich!!
It disgusts me that’s this thing is the majority leader, we need a change, before it’s too late.
Ditch Mitch!!
Begging for someone to slap Mitch with a twisted tea
Traitor to Trump and MAGA! Martial law is coming soon and he will have to answer to General Flynn!! 🇺🇸TRUMP WON 2020🇺🇸
Georgia help us out here.....
I bet those Kentucky voters are having serious buyer’s remorse now. They’ll never get rid of Mitch now
Good
Hey Georgia are you paying attention? Let’s get this horrible person out
How soon could it be voted on?
Wow...what a shocker
Now he needs vote to over ride a veto probably not going to happen shutitdown
Georgia, the GOP doesn’t care about you! Vote for ossoff and ReverendWarnock to get rid of Perduesenate, KLoeffler and put senatemajldr in his place!
Georgia, you can fix this by making him senate minority leader.
