House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday said that she and other Democrats were pushing for $1,200 stimulus payments instead of the $600 ones that were authorized under the next virus aid deal.
“We also have in the legislation direct payments, which were not in the Republican bill, to America’s working families,” Pelosi said during the speech on the House floor. “I would like them to have been bigger, but they are significant and they will be going out soon.”
