Update on this: @LeaderHoyer told Dems today House will pass $2K checks by rule tonight if they can't pass on suspension. But I am sensing a lot of optimism that won't be necessary.

Translation: They'll vote again using majority threshold instead of 2/3ds. But it will take a lot more time and an extra procedural vote.
But 2/3ds possible -- one thing to watch: GOP absences. Most Rs aren't using proxy voting and every nonvoting member shrinks the denominator.

FLASH: House passes $2,000 stimulus checks on bipartisan 275-134 vote; now to the Senate where action is uncertain. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
Meanwhile the House is WELL on its way to overriding Trump's NDAA veto. Only 44 Rs supported the $2K checks but nearly twice that already voting against Trump here: 
Done deal - 322-87. Senate will likely vote on override Wednesday, per sources.
