Even in his last days the Don gets his way.
The United States House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted to increase COVID-19 relief cheques to $US2,000, meeting President Donald Trump's demand for bigger payments.
Key points:
The vote was led by Democrats, but dozens of Republicans suddenly joined in approval to see the bill pass 275-134.
- The vote is a reversal of similar ones days before where many Republicans voted against it
- The bill will now go to the Republican-led Senate for a vote
- The House has also voted to override US President Donald Trump's defence veto
Congress had earlier settled on smaller $US600 payments in a compromise over the relief bill, but Democrats who had long been pushing for bigger relief cheques used the rare point of agreement with the President to advance the proposal.
