The date regarding the approval of stimulus check 2 is still unclear. The approval is highly dependent on the agenda of the newly elected President. Trump has been unreliable about stimulus check 2 from the beginning and now, he seems to be busy with denying the election results and challenging the win of President-elect, Joe Biden. Amid all these, he did tweet and ask Congress to make the stimulus check 2 large and focused.

Donald Trump has also shown some interest in a  second stimulus package during the recent weeks, preceding the election. Despite these tactics and agendas, Americans have been waiting for Trump to leave the White House to receive some good news on the stimulus check 2.
