WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s push for bigger $2,000 COVID-19 relief checks stalled out Tuesday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked a swift vote proposed by Democrats. Republican senators are deeply split over new spending. The GOP leader signaled an alternative approach — linking Trump’s demand for aid with restrictions the president wants on tech companies. McConnell says the Senate will “begin a process” to address the issues. But the next steps are highly uncertain. The House approved the larger checks and a number of GOP senators now want them, too. On Tuesday, two Georgia Republican senators in runoff elections Jan. 5, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, said they support Trump’s plan.
