To be clear about what McConnell is doing, he’s refusing to allow a clean vote on $2,000 checks.

It’s really not that clever or more complicated. He doesn’t want it to pass — and Trump is doing nothing to force a vote or press the issue.
If Trump actually wanted $2,000 checks, it’d maybe take a couple of sternly worded tweets.

Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are not interested in crossing Trump with less than a week left before the Georgia runoff.

So either Trump doesn’t know or doesn’t actually care.
Donald Trump’s whole shtick as the rough-around-the-edges-populist-shaking-up-Washington has always been a fraud, but it’s actually amazing how little he needs to achieve or even perform to keep up appearances.
