An Illinois congressman says he's "cautiously optimistic" that Americans will receive a second COVID-19 stimulus check.
U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, who recently won reelection to the U.S. House in Illinois; 13th Congressional District, says the problem lies with House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The Taylorville Republican says small businesses are suffering because Speaker Pelosi is reluctant to negotiate a second stimulus deal.
President-elect Joe Biden could propose a second round of checks to Americans once sworn in; however, that is several months away.
