McConnell's efforts to block $2,000 stimulus checks hurt the GOP in Georgia — and may have cost it the Senate
Business Insider ^ | Jan 6 2021 | Mia Jankowicz

The Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock early Wednesday were projected to win both US Senate seats in Georgia, handing overall government control to the Democratic Party.

One of the pivotal issues in the Georgia campaigns was the prospect of $2,000 COVID-19 stimulus checks, which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked.

Even though both GOP candidates in Georgia backed $2,000 checks, the party was divided. This allowed Democrats to campaign effectively as the party of $2,000 checks and could've helped them carry the day.

These scoundrels are only toying with the @sendavidperdue (a great guy) vote. Just didn’t want to announce quite yet. They’ve got as many ballots as are necessary. Rigged Election!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021

“Oh No! Well, Anyway” - said Mitch as he goes back to sipping his margarita and looking at his swiss bank account balance.

If the voters will sell America out for a mere $2000, then America is ready on her death bed.

not called the the stupid party for nothing. I’m not in favor of government handouts....but how can these idiots rubber-stamp millions for gender studies programs in Pakistan one week and then oppose money for people here at home the next week?

it might have been helpful in djt mentioned the 2K before the first bill was voted on....

republican party is basically useless....

One of my friends basically said something like “America is already dead, might as well get some free cash and let it collapse.”

Yet another rigged election. No issue, no voter turnout makes any difference whatsoever when an election is rigged. No different than betting on a mafia rigged horse race or boxing match.

I guess there are lot of Americans who can use $2000 in today’s covid-19 shutdown economy.

Checks are no checks, they knew how to steal it from the last time end it probably wouldn’t have mattered.

He can be minority leader and push mailers and calls to voters to ‘help us fight against the socialist democrats’ while not have to worry about governing and ‘oh’ he still gets a nice chunk of the money flowing in

Trafalgar had Loeffler ahead by 7 and Perdue ahead by 3 or 4 until the stimulus controversy erupted. After the stimulus brouhaha Trafalgar had both trailing.

Well now at least we know we’re surrounded by both the GOP and the Rats, so at least it clarifies the situation.

“The election was stolen.

Exactly. This is a stupid, insane and beyond stupid reasoning. How about this troll writer blame the fraud process in mail in ballots and dominion software?

““If you send Jon and the reverend to Washington, those $2,000 checks will go out the door, restoring hope and decency and honor for so many people who are struggling right now. If you send Sens. Perdue and Loeffler back to Washington, those checks will never get there. It’s just that simple.”

—Joe Biden, January 4th 2021

That’s one heck of a campaign strategy. Expect to see this again.
