Antifar 12/24/20 9:52:46 AM #1:	https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-politics-legislation-coronavirus-pandemic-bills-3cf97d6b39b80213ecd3d49ed4dcdc1e House Republicans shot down a Democratic bid on Thursday to pass President Donald Trumps longshot, end-of-session demand for $2,000 direct payments to most Americans before signing a long-overdue COVID-19 relief bill. The made-for-TV clash came as the Democratic-controlled chamber convened for a pro forma session scheduled in anticipation of a smooth Washington landing for the massive, year-end legislative package, which folds together a $1.4 trillion governmentwide spending with the hard-fought COVID-19 package and dozens of unrelated but bipartisan bills. Thursdays unusual 12-minute House session session instead morphed into unconvincing theater in response to Trumps veto musings about the package, which was negotiated by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Trumps behalf. Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat, sought the unanimous approval of all House members to pass the bill, but GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, who was not present in the nearly-empty chamber, denied his approval and the effort fizzled. If Trump were to follow through on his implied veto threat, delivered via video clip on Tuesday, the government would likely experience a brief, partial shutdown of the government starting on Dec. 29. It would also delay delivery of the $600 direct payments that the bill does contain. Senate Republicans, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have opposed larger $2,000 checks as too costly and poorly targeted. Democrats are supportive of the direct payments and now plan to vote on the $2,000 check proposal on Monday. House Republicans are expected to block the vote, but Democrats may try again Monday. The presidents last-minute objections are setting up a defining showdown with his own Republican Party in his final days in office. Rather than take the victory of the sweeping aid package, among the biggest in history, Trump is lashing out at GOP leaders over the presidential election for acknowledging Joe Biden as president-elect and rebuffing his campaign to dispute the Electoral College results when they are tallied in Congress on Jan. 6. The presidents push to increase direct payments for most Americans from $600 to $2,000 for individuals and $4,000 for couples splits the party with a politically painful loyalty test, including for GOP senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, fighting to retain their seats in the Jan. 5 special election in Georgia. Republican lawmakers traditionally balk at big spending and many never fully embraced Trumps populist approach. Their political DNA tells them to oppose a costlier relief package. But now theyre being asked to stand with the president. On a conference call Wednesday House Republican lawmakers complained that Trump threw them under the bus, according to one Republican on the private call and granted anonymity to discuss it. Most had voted for the package and they urged leaders to hit the cable news shows to explain its benefits, the person said. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:948707617] in GOP blocks...
