Sec. Mnuchin says the Trump administration supports another round of direct stimulus payments to Americans in the next coronavirus relief package, which he says should be passed by Congress by the end of the month.

He added,"The level and the criteria we'll be discussing with the Senate...As soon as the Senate gets back, we're gonna sit down on a bipartisan basis with the Republicans and the Democrats and it will be our priority to make sure between the 20th and the end of the month that we pass the next legislation."

Mnuchin said that he had a"very productive call" with McConnell and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Wednesday about negotiations, which he said will resume with Democrats later this month. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Thursday questioned the income threshold proposal of $40,000 and said that McConnell had not spoken to her about it.

"I don't know where the $40,000 came from. I think there are many families depending on size of family and so many different things, that the $40,000 would have to be explained, justified and the rest," she said."But I think families making over $40,000 probably need assistance. Again, just depending on their family situation."

House Democratic leaders are pushing for another round of stimulus payments of up to $1,200 per person. The eligibility would be the same as in the first wave — for individuals making less than $99,000 a year and couples making under $198,000.Rebecca Shabad

Democrats, don’t forget where your votes are coming from. 40k in the suburbs is comparable to 30k in rural areas.

Tax returns. Or Cares stimulus checks !!!?!?!

Great that will be helpful in 2-3 months when it shows up!

Unless they up the ante on direct stimulus payments, it'll be just throwing paper towels at Puerto Ricans

Good Thing He's Rich..........Most of Americas Ppl Passed That End of The Month Months Ago.......And Thanks For The $1200.00..........

Kind of like the 15% middle class tax cut trump promised 3 days before the midterm election 2 years ago? Then the election happened and the tax cuts NEVER happened. Con men, all of them.

Both sides need to compromise on this but they need to get it done.

No stimulus, open the country back up.

They can't bribe Americans to vote for them. We see right through them. They messed this up for everyone.

Buying votes how about getting money back from millionaires and businesses that took small business relief?
