President Trump's zigzagging stance on a second stimulus package has Republicans reacting to the sudden termination of negotiations, leaving open the possibility that a second round of stimulus could happen in the coming weeks and months. [President Trump tweeted Tuesday that he intends to pull the White House out of negotiations with Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.).

But later that day, he promised to sign a stand-alone bill offering a second $1,200 stimulus package and nothing else.

On Wednesday, the administration again reversed course. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said the administration is considering separate bills for the stimulus checks, the airline bailout, and funding for small businesses, which were integrated as part of a larger package passed by the House last week, Politico reported.

Some Republican members of both the House and Senate were frustrated by the confusion and urged negotiations to move forward.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) called on lawmakers and the Trump administration to take up the bipartisan $1.5 trillion problem-solving bill introduced in the House last month. The bill includes a stimulus check2 and a smaller weekly federal unemployment benefit than the Democratic proposal.

Meanwhile, according to The Hill, House Republicans are also eager to resume talks, with some lawmakers saying they disagree with President Trump's response to the stimulus package.

"We cannot afford to stop negotiating a bailout when lives are at stake," said Rep. John Katko (R-NY).

The House's latest proposal, a scaled-down version of the HEROES Act costing $2.2 trillion, was passed by the full House last week. It includes a second $1,200 direct payment and the resumption of the $600 weekly federal unemployment benefit supplemental retroactive to September 6 and continuing through January 31.

The Democratic-backed bill also includes nearly $500 billion in aid to financially troubled state and local governments, which many Republicans oppose, and a bailout for the ailing airline industry, which Republicans prefer more.

Before President Trump said he would break off negotiations, the administration had submitted a $1.6 trillion proposal, which included a "comparable" amount of stimulus checks2 and a slightly reduced (and retroactive) unemployment supplemental. It is not clear whether this White House proposal would have the support of Senate Republicans, even if it had the support of President Trump.

Many other proposals have been floated in recent months, but even the $1.1 trillion HEALS bill introduced by Senate Republican leadership in late July has not been passed by either chamber.

Last month, the Senate managed to get a majority of Republican Senators to pass a $500 billion "skinny" bill that did not include stimulus check 2, but it failed to pass with Democratic support.
