Did Trump just get Mitch to combine Section 230 reform and election investigations with the $2k stimulus checks into one bill?

Wouldn't this checkmate the dems into corner by forcing a vote on what the President wants by using the $2k checks as leverage?

Read the fine print below.

From article:

"McConnell did not explain why he objected to Schumer's request to fast-track the bill, but noted that President Trump has demanded Congress act on repealing liability protections for tech companies and election-related reforms, in addition to the stimulus checks."

""Those are the three important subjects the president has linked together. This week, the Senate will begin a process to bring these three priorities into focus," McConnell said in a possible nod to a future package."

I'm guessing liability protections would end the pandemic related shutdowns tomorrow and would apply to all businesses.

I could be wrong, we have to wait for the language.
