The House passed a bipartisan bill to increase the size of individual stimulus checks to $2,000 from $600, endorsing a measure demanded by President Trump and daring Senate Republicans to either do the same or defy the president.
The House rejected Trump’s veto of a military spending bill, setting up the first veto override of his presidency. Senator Bernie Sanders said he would delay a Senate vote on the measure unless members voted on the bill to increase stimulus checks.
President-elect Joe Biden accused Trump administration officials of impeding his transition team. “We just aren’t getting all the information that we need from the outgoing administration in key national security areas,” Biden said.
