On Thursday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) issued a floor update warning that Friday's passage of the stimulus bill could be more complicated than previously envisioned.


Specifically, he noted that at least some of the House Republicans returning to D.C. for the vote may object to a voice vote passage, meaning there would need to be a full roll call.

The $2 trillion stimulus bill is not particularly controversial. It has the backing of the bipartisan congressional leadership and President Donald Trump, and passed the Senate 96-0. However, at least some members, like Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), have threatened to hold up the bill over spending objections.
