House speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer want to increase the checks to $2,000, but won’t want to cut any of the spending. Congressional Republicans will want to cut the spending but had previously held the line on the size of the individual relief checks. The odds of them working out their differences in a short time frame are not great.
Even if the swapping got done in four days, the senators miss Christmas and Trump could still throw a tantrum. Better to just override the veto. It is not clear to me why Schumer and Pelosi are so positive about this.
