It started when Democrats introduced their $3 trillion dollar HEROES Act in May, which included a bailout for the post office, a tax break for wealthy people in blue states, made illegal aliens eligible for stimulus, and mentioned "cannabis" 68 times https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/15/house-vote-spending-bill-heroes-act-nita-lowey/
As a counter-offer to the HEROES Act, Republicans attempted to negotiate on four different coronavirus stimulus deals over the summer.
Democrats rejected every single one. https://dailycaller.com/2020/08/05/republicans-heals-act-democrats-heroes-act-stimulus-deal-rejected/

At the beginning of September, Senate Democrats blocked a Republican bill that included a federal unemployment benefit, Paycheck Protection Program funding, and additional money for more coronavirus testing. https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/10/senate-democrats-block-coronavirus-stimulus-package/
Democrats blocked a similar $500 billion relief bill from the Republicans in October https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/21/senate-democrats-block-republicans-coronavirus-bill/
President Trump tweeted in early October he would sign a stand alone bill for an additional round of COVID-19 stimulus checks.

November 19th marked the 40th time the majority party has blocked a package of GOP stimulus bills from passing the chamber. https://dailycaller.com/2020/11/19/house-democrats-block-republican-effort-pass-stimulus/
Finally, Nancy Pelosi said today she would be willing to do a smaller covid-19 relief bill after months of refusing to budge on anything except for the liberal wishlist in the HEROES Act https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1334915458982703106?s=20
