Trump rails against GOP congressman who signaled support for forcing roll-call vote on coronavirus stimulus deal

(CNN)President Donald Trump suggested that a Republican congressman be unseated for potentially jeopardizing the passage of the $2 trillion stimulus package, which will provide Americans economic relief amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In an attack against a member of his own party, Trump called Rep. Thomas Massie a "third rate Grandstander" and claimed the Kentucky Republican "just wants the publicity" after threatening a roll-call vote, which would require members travel back to the US Capitol to vote in person.

Many members are scrambling Friday to return to Washington to vote on the bill since it remains a possibility that the bill may not pass by a voice vote, which allows fewer members to be present. Any member can request a roll-call vote. The House has already begun floor debate on the bill.

"He can't stop it, only delay, which is both dangerous...& costly," Trump wrote on Twitter.
