President Biden told House Democrats on Wednesday that he vows not to "break his promise" to deliver $1,400 stimulus checks - though he's open to a means test to set 'tighter income limits' on who can receive them. Biden's sign-on to means testing increases the chances that Senate Democrats will bypass pass Republicans - passing their own stimulus bill via budget reconciliation, as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) - who was seen as a key swing vote, may sign on due to the targeted relief.

"I am not going to start by breaking a promise to the American people," said Biden - who notably broke his promise that $2,000 checks would go out 'immediately' if he's elected - which Democrats have spun as $1,400 added to the $600 relief under Trump, which equals $2,000.

Biden also told House Democrats that the idea of going from his $1.9 trillion proposal to the GOP's $618 billion proposal is "not even in the cards." The GOP counterproposal includes $1,000 checks sent to far fewer Americans.

"We’ve got a lot of people hurting in our country," said Biden, adding "We need to act fast."


" That money will go out the door immediately if I'm elected "
LOL
