President Trump Expects a Generous Second Stimulus Bill -- but Don’t Get Too Excited Yet
Millions of Americans are struggling financially in the wake of COVID-19, and while an initial round of stimulus checks helped some people stay afloat, for many, that money is long gone and more is needed. Democratic lawmakers agree, which is why they introduced the HEROES Act, which, among other things, calls for a second round of stimulus checks that would be even more substantial than the first.
Republican lawmakers, however, have blasted the HEROES Act for being too expensive. In fact, in its current form, the HEROES Act is extremely unlikely to pass a Senate vote, which means Americans shouldn't count on it.
Still, there is hope of some follow-up stimulus cash. Earlier this week, President Trump stated that Americans should, in fact, count on additional relief. Not only did he insist that another stimulus package is in the works, but he also announced that it will be, in his words, very generous.
