Thoughts on Loeffler & Perdue's Sudden Support For $2,000 Stimulus Checks

Georgia Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are now on board with $2,000 COVID-19 stimulus checks.

Not that they objected to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocking a vote on the matter.

Of course, neither Loeffler nor Perdue were champions of a second round of stimulus payments. 

But they are both in favor of being re-elected. As it stands, with the election only one week away, both Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are leading in the polls. Hence the flip-flop.

Let us also remember that President Trump will be holding a rally with Loeffler and Perdue the day before the election. It would be kind of awkward if Loeffler and Perdue weren't on the same page with Trump regarding the $2,000 stimulus. Then again it might also be awkward if they hit the stage next on Monday without any $2,000 stimulus checks ready to be cut. There could be further awkwardness afoot if Trump spends the rally denigrating Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger rather than promoting Loeffler and Perdue. 

Whatever Trump has to say, it remains to be seen if Georgia voters will see through Loeffler and Perdue's sudden support for $2,000 stimulus checks let alone the $600 checks.
