Georgia voters enraged after Democrats promise of '$2,000 checks' becomes $1,400
Fox News ^ | 01.21.2020 | Michael Ruiz

Georgia Democrats have reportedly already begun fuming over their two new senators, the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, who were sworn in Wednesday by Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new report.

Both men narrowly won hard-fought races against Republican incumbents in the Peach State, winning control of the Senate for the Democrats in the process.

But a major issue raised by critics is that President Biden espoused a coronavirus relief plan that would send $1,400 checks to many Americans – while Warnock and Ossoff campaigned on a $2,000 promise.

"Warnock and Ossoff made it a point to endorse and exclusively say ‘$2,000 checks,’" Georgia Democrat Oscar Zaro told Mediaite. "A lot of the people in my district voted blue in the runoff for two main reasons. One: Loeffler and Perdue denying us relief during COVID while profiting millions themselves; and two, $2,000 checks."

Leading into the Jan. 5 runoff elections were a series of campaign events espousing the $2,000 stimulus check proposal in the days after former President Trump signed a $600-check plan in late December.

These folks should keep in mind that the $1400 hasn't even been voted on and approved yet so there's a good chance Americans might not ever even see that money. Remember the last Relief/Stimulus bill was talked about since summer 2020 before we finally got the crumbs of $600 in Dec.

A natural and known artifact of universal suffrage.

A bad case of communications failure and lousy expectation management. What the Democrats were thinking is that the US Treasury would distribute $2K to each qualified recipient: $600 under the current law and $1400 under law yet to be passed by the new Congress.

Georgia voters assumed that they would receive an aggregate of $2600, $600 from the prior Congress and $2000 from the current Congress.

Oops.

They did promote that if you vote for demms and Joe Bidum you would get 2 grand.

Then they wonder why their low information voters get upset when they lied to them?

They did not promote get $1400, some probably won’t even get out of bed for such a pity amount.

Let the fun begin

I love ‘rat on ‘rat fighting

No worries. What are these low info voters going to do? Sue to get their vote back? Then, give it to the pubs?
By the time the next election rolls around, the same promises can be made and broken and the past will be long forgotten.

More evidence that McConnell was the reason the Repubs lost Georgia in the runoff. Not approving the $2000 checks. And yes, I know we’re $27 trillion in debt. But the low info dems don’t know that. Print, print, print.

“By electing Jon and the Reverend you can make an immediate difference in your own lives, the lives of people all across this country because their election will put an end to the block in Washington on that $2,000 stimulus check, that money that will go out the door immediately to people who are in real trouble.” - Joe Biden

I'm enraged because it's not $20,000.

Only morons didn’t understand Hiden Biden meant he was going to round up to $2k from the $600 on the way.

Wait, the article was about Georgia Dems, ok, makes sense now
