In an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN, White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that the government planned to extend its four-month moratorium on evictions that ended last Friday.
The Washington Post notes that the government's additional $600 unemployment benefit is also set to expire soon, at the end of July, adding still more urgency to efforts to pass a new stimulus bill.
Kudlow also told CNN that direct $1,200 payments would be part of any stimulus bill, and insisted that "the V-shaped recovery is in place," despite sharp recorded rises in coronavirus in many parts of the country.
