Georgia Results Make Bigger Stimulus Checks More Likely

Thanks to Georgia, don’t give up hope on a $2,000 stimulus check just yet.

Democrats Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff defeated Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Georgia’s US Senate runoff elections on Tuesday, giving Democrats a slim margin in the Senate. Democratic control of the White House, House of Representatives, and Senate has big policy implications in terms of what can be accomplished — including more stimulus to boost the economy as the Covid-19 pandemic continues.

In other words, more help could be on the way.
