The battle over whether individual Americans are worth $600 or $2000 of government money just heated up. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked an attempt by Senate Democrats to give an immediate up or down vote to the stimulus check increase bill.
McConnell's move puts him at odds with Trump, who explicitly called on Congress to make the deal happen. But it may be a bit more complicated than that.
McConnell explained that he wants the Senate to consider getting rid of wasteful spending in the original bill before tackling the check amounts, which Trump also requested.
So while on the surface it seems that McConnell broke with Trump, he's trying to give the president everything he asked for.
