“I said, ‘I think it's vital that any relief include direct payments, and I'm not gonna vote for it if it doesn't.’ And I also urged him to veto any bill that did not have direct payments in it,” Hawley said. He called it "wild" that nobody's proposal has this
Hawley also spoke to Bernie Sanders (!) about direct payments
"Getting the $1,200 direct payments to workers during this unprecedented crisis should be a slam dunk. Sen. Hawley seems to understand that, and Sen. Sanders will talk to anyone to get this done," says @fshakir

@fshakir "Working families and individuals ought to be first for Covid relief, and then we'll talk about everything else. I see some of these comments about ‘well, we just don't have any money left over,'” Hawley said. “We don't have money left over for people?"
