Utah Sen. Mitt Romney on Monday called on Congress to pass legislation that would "immediately" send $1,000 checks to every American adult to help them cover expenses during the coronavirus crisis. That was one of several proposals Romney, a Republican, put forward Monday in his effort to help small businesses and individuals. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, introduced a resolution last week calling for $1,000 per month payments to every American adult until the coronavirus threat has passed. Several senators have expressed concern about its contents and the body will first have to get past a vote on FISA before it can even consider the coronavirus bill. “Do not underestimate the challenge the Senate could face passing this bill," one senior Republican source told Fox News.
