On the eve of Senate Election Day in Georgia, President-elect Joe Biden said that a Democratic victory in the two seats that are at stake in the Upper House would mean the “immediate” delivery of Stimulus checks of $ 2, 000 dollars to most Americans.
Biden referred to direct payment three times during a short speech Monday in Atlanta, Georgia. The incoming president stressed that the debate on economic aid is not “abstract” but is about “real lives.”
If Georgia sends Republican senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler back in Washington, “those checks will never come,” Biden said. Even though both Republicans (and President Donald Trump himself) are in favor of the $ 2 stimulus checks, 000 dollars, Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (from Kentucky) blocked the proposal , which he called “socialism for the rich.”
The Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff have also publicly expressed their support for larger payments s.
Congress passed a stimulus check last month for $ 900, 000 million dollars including stimulus checks for $ 600 dollars, half of the $ 1, 200 Cares Act dollars and much less than the $ 2, 000 dollars that Trump and Democrats advocate.
The $ 600 dollars will receive them in full particularly those who have an annual income of $ 75, 000 dollars or less . The amount will decrease progressively for those who earn more than $ 75, 000 Dollars. People who charge more than $ 87, 01 dollars will not receive any payment .
