CONGRESS/CORONAVIRUS: “A second round of [coronavirus] stimulus checks had been expected to land in the bank accounts of millions of Americans as soon as next week, thanks to the $900 billion economic relief package that Congress passed Monday night. But President Donald Trump’s sudden insistence Tuesday that lawmakers boost the bill’s $600 stimulus checks to $2,000 per person is now throwing the timing and amount of the checks into question…

Another round of negotiations could delay the bill by several days, while a veto from Mr. Trump could delay passage of a bill by weeks.”
