Republicans refuse to give Trump the $2,000 relief checks he demanded

House Republicans will stop President Donald Trump's demand for $2,000 relief checks, saying they won't support Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Christmas Eve proposal to get more money to Americans struggling in the coronavirus pandemic. 

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told his fellow Republicans on a conference call Wednesday that the unanimous consent request Pelosi plans for the $2,000 checks will not go through. 

He called the speaker's move a 'stunt' and said Republicans would work on their own proposal regarding relief checks.
