Will Graham get crossways with McConnell?

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) broke with his party's Senate leader Thursday, calling for a stand-alone vote on $2,000 stimulus checks.

"If you had a stand-alone vote on the $2,000 check, it might pass," Graham said while appearing on "Fox & Friends."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has knocked the prospect of raising the stimulus checks that are going out to many Americans from $600 to $2,000, vowing the Senate would not pass a stand-alone bill increasing the amount.

[...]

McConnell has offered a competing measure that would tie an increase in the checks to removing a legal shield for tech companies and creating a commission to examine the 2020 elections. But that proposal is viewed as a non-starter for Democrats.

[...]

President Trump has pushed for the increase and the House passed one earlier this week, but most Senate Republicans are wary.

Most Senate Republicans are giant dicks.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
