A Senate vote on Thursday indicated strong bipartisan support for more targeted stimulus checks in the next COVID-19 relief package.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, proposed an amendment that called for "targeting" checks and making sure that "upper-income taxpayers are not eligible."

The Senate voted 99-1 in support of the amendment. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only person to vote against it.

"I don't think a single person on this floor would disagree to target the relief to our neighbors who are struggling to pay rent and put food on the table," Manchin said before the vote, per The Hill. "This $1,400 will make a significant impact on their ability to get by.

"There are other families who have not missed a single paycheck as a result of this pandemic. It does not make sense to send a check to those individuals."

Collins said the approach needed to help Americans suffering as a result of the pandemic was clear.

"Do we want stimulus checks to go to households with family incomes of $300,000 or do we want to target the assistance to struggling families who need the help and provide a boost for the economy?" she asked.
