Though Trump Asked for Bill With More COVID Money, One With Less Is Heading to His Desk: Fox

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday tweeted out that a bipartisan coronavirus relief and omnibus bill has been enrolled and is on its way to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature. 

"The bipartisan COVID relief & omnibus bill has been enrolled," the senior House Dem from California tweeted. "The House & Senate are now sending this important legislation #ForThePeople to the White House for the President’s signature. We urge him to sign this bill into law to give immediate relief to hard-working families!"

This, though the wrangling continues after Trump criticized the bill and demanded that lawmakers provide bigger relief checks. Instead of $600 for individuals, he wanted $2,000, $4,000 for couples.

House Republicans rejected the idea of those bigger checks on Wednesday, in a rare and very brief House session that left millions of Americans wonder what comes next as the bill with the lesser relief sum and government funding makes its way to the president.

There are plans afoot for a floor vote next week on the larger sum, putting all members on record as supporting or rejecting the presiden't call for larger relief sums for Americans. Meanwhile, delays raise the risk of a partial shutdown, with the larger funding omnibus bill attached. Fox News said another stop-gap funding measure may be taken up on Monday at least to avert a government shutdown while the government girds for a shift to a Joe Biden presidency.

The Senate cleared the way for the smaller relief package with the $600 checks on Monday, 92-6, after the House backed it 359-53. In theory those votes are sufficient to override a Trump veto.

There was no word as of the time of publication on the president's reaction. He was heading to Mar-a-Lago in Florida Wednesday.
