Are people conflating the Covid bill and the omnibus? My understanding is that the pork is in the omnibus, not the Covid bill. If that’s the case, why is Trump grandstanding and holding up Covid relief?
This strikes me as agreeing with Pelosi and stabbing Repubs in the back. Mnuchin negotiated this bill with Trumps blessing now he wants to blow it up and in the process sink Loeffler and Perdue in the GA runoff.
Because, as you said, it's an omnibus bill. He either signs the whole thing or vetoes the whole thing. He can't sign one part and veto the other.
Trump is insisting that the relief legislation, specifically, include $2,000 per American, and if that improvement is made, Trump will sign it.
