“Wrong. The GOP blocked Pelosi’s request for unanimous consent to and expanding the overall covid bill by adding $1400 to the $600 stimulus check”

Explain how the minority party blocked it.

Why is “unanimous consent to and expanding the overall covid bill” needed?

It’s a parliamentary procedure that is one option for passing legislation. Obviously it doesn’t work when one or more member refuses to make it unanimous. That’s what some GOP members did last week. Do some googling on “unanimous consent” legislating.
