Most Republicans wants a lower income threshold to qualify. The cap on payments in the first CARES bill was $99,000.

McConnell made the announcement as top White House officials were set to come to Capitol Hill to tell Senate Republicans what President Donald Trump wants in the relief package — including a payroll tax cut — and cuts in proposed funding for testing an the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — items many Senate Republicans oppose.
