(AP Photo\/Eric Gay)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>\nUPDATED 10:49 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, February 3, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Joe Biden recently backtracked on his pledge to send another $2,000 in coronavirus stimulus payments during a private call with House Democrats. He <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/537129-biden-commits-to-1400-checks-in-call-to-house-democrats\">reportedly<\/a> only committed to offering $1,400 in direct payments in a call Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The checks were one of the main sticking points for Biden\u2019s 2020 campaign, but he\u2019s backed off on his commitment since Inauguration Day. However, the administration has argued Biden has kept his promise by suggesting the $1,400 checks would be supplemental to the last round of $600 direct payments.<\/p>\n<p>Following a meeting at the White House Wednesday, Democrat senators suggested Biden is also receptive to limiting who qualifies for the next round of checks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did have a conversation about the direct payments and how those might be modified in a way to ensure they are targeted, but President Biden was clear with us and with our caucus yesterday,\u201d stated Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.)\u201dHe\u2019s not going to forget the middle class, he\u2019s not going to walk back from a real commitment he made not just in Georgia, but nationally to deliver target relief to those Americans most in need.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WH Press Secretary Psaki confirms the White House isn&#8217;t budging from its $1.9 trillion COVID-relief proposal, following yesterday&#8217;s meeting with GOP senators.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jennifer Franco (@jennfranconews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jennfranconews\/status\/1356689017429889025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Delaware lawmaker also said cutting state and local aid in the upcoming COVID-19 relief package would be a \u201cnon-starter\u201d for Democrats.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/majority-passing-partisan-covid-19-bill-says-senate-minority-leader-mcconnell\/\">\u2018Majority passing \u2018partisan\u2019 COVID-19 bill,\u2019 says Senate Minority Leader McConnell<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this April 23, 2020 file photo, President Donald J.Trump\u2019s name is printed on a stimulus check issued by the IRS to help combat the adverse economic effects &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1892558,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,4374,5094,3991,4070,4371],"class_list":["post-116716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-checks","tag-commits","tag-only","tag-private","tag-stimulus"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
