McConnell says the second set of $1,200 stimulus checks will follow the model of the first but have “more support” for adult dependents. It appears the GOP bill will provide $500 per dependent regardless of age, rather than capped at 17 under Child Tax Credit parameters outlined in Cares.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minoroty Leader Schumer will meet with Meadows and Mnuchin at 6 pm (presumably) EST tonight.

In an interview with Fox Business today, White House Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow appeared to contradict his statement to CNN’s Jake Tapper from yesterday.
Yesterday, Kudlow told CNN that the administration would be seeking to extend the eviction moratorium for renters.
Today, he issued a ‘clarification’.
Kudlow said the administration will continue forbearance for homeowners but there would be no extension of eviction moratoriums for renters, and that the “$1200 stimulus check should help”. See it for yourself. Also, let me know what you think in the comments below.
