Harris, Ocasio-Cortez among Democrats calling for recurring direct payments in fourth coronavirus bill
By Naomi Jagoda - 04/09/20 02:13 PM EDT
A group of more than 50 Democratic lawmakers on Thursday urged congressional leaders to include monthly direct payments in a fourth coronavirus response bill, saying that doing so would be particularly helpful for low-income people.

"Providing recurring monthly payments is the most efficient mechanism for delivering economic relief to those most at-risk in this crisis, particularly low-income communities, gig and service workers, and our immigrant neighbors," the lawmakers wrote in a letter.

The lawmakers who took the lead on the letter include Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a former presidential candidate, and prominent freshman progressive Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
