"No stimulus check for you!"--Mitch McConnel.
Democrats signaled Wednesday they'll agree to a stimulus deal that doesn't include direct payments to Americans.
Party leaders said they’re willing to restart negotiations using the $908 billion bipartisan framework introduced earlier this week, which does not include sending stimulus checks to individual taxpayers. The concession, which comes after months of stonewalling from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, also means that Democrats may accept a deal worth nearly a trillion dollars less than what the White House had offered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in October.
