Last week, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced he will introduce legislation to send a rebate check to every working American. President Trump voiced support for this policy as recently as this morning when he discussed record-breaking tariff revenue.
“Working people need relief now,” Senator Hawley tweeted. “They’ve earned it. Let’s return their money to them asap.”
Senator Hawley has long advocated for working Americans and has introduced legislation to protect unionized blue-collar workers. Senator Hawley also successfully fought to include direct payments in COVID-19 relief packages during the pandemic.
