The Trump administration and Democratic leaders agreed on another round of direct payments, but their inability to agree on other issues has put the stimulus checks on hold.
Senators are leaving Washington, D.C., for their home states without passing another economic relief package, meaning there won't be another round of stimulus checks in August.
Standing in the way of an agreement is about a trillion dollars. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that Democrats offered to come down $1 trillion if the Trump administration came up by $1 trillion. Once officials agreed to that, Pelosi said, the two sides could negotiate how to spend the money.
"No family in Middle America is saying: Thank goodness the Democrats are blocking cash payments to me, money for my kids' schools and money for vaccines until Manhattan millionaires get a tax cut!" McConnell said.
