“I just don’t want him to be the president who, after 59 [NDAAs], vetoes one,” Cramer said in an interview. “And given his legacy of supporting the military and rebuilding the military and what he’s done to position ourselves, I would just hate for that to end after 59 in a row.” — PolitiTweet.org

Trump likely to support significant round of new stimulus payments, per Sen. Hawley, who spoke again to Trump today. “I’d be surprised if he didn’t support $1,200 for families and $2,400 for couples,” he said. Trump could even go higher https://t.co/dTRZ4Jutly — PolitiTweet.org
