What is now?
You can buy anything.
The Democrats will continue to insist that the vote take place before the Sabbath, when the Congress concludes the bianual legislative exercise in the course.
Although McConnell opuso considered the topic of checks, he could always change his mind that he did it on Saturday.

McConnell said as a matter of urgency that the Senate would meet the required terms for the abolition of the presidential veto, so that the only thing that can be concretized will be the term of office of Trump.
Why is McConnell opposed?
The Republican Bank is in a position where it will not be able to disclose its internal division.

“During this process, the President submits three additional national significance topics that he will discuss with the Senate, including”, “McConnell said. “These are three important issues that the president has mentioned. This week the Senate will launch a process to give priority to these three priorities.”
McConnell did not specify how he would approach the three themes in a simultaneous manner, but the combination of those assumptions in a single piece of legislation to ensure the remaining support.
In addition, Democrats have been calling for an increase in the amount of the check, no response from the Senate to Trump’s infamous denunciations of electoral fraud at the cost of his election.
