Even With Divided Government, Coronavirus Stimulus Check 2.0 Has a Chance
Additional coronavirus stimulus money has been a contentious issue in Washington, D.C., with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle negotiating unsuccessfully for months to pass a bill to provide a second stimulus check. Unfortunately, compromise has not gotten consensus support.
Now, with the 2020 election results becoming more clear, there's a very real possibility the government branches will remain divided, with President-elect Joe Biden, a Democrat, potentially governing while dealing with a Republican-majority Senate (unless the Democrats win two upcoming runoff elections in Georgia that will take place in January).
Those hoping for more coronavirus-related stimulus money may be concerned that the prospect of a divided government could doom their chances of a second COVID-19 check. In reality, however, there are lots of reasons to believe that won't happen -- and that another relief bill could be passed even before Inauguration Day or shortly thereafter.
