The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the final version of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, in a 220-211 vote. Just one Democrat, Jared Golden of Maine, voted against the bill. Not one Republican voted for the legislation which at least 70 percent of Americans, including the majority of GOP voters, support.
DNC Chair Jaime Harrison posted this graphic of what the bill does:
The White House has called the package “one of the most consequential and most progressive pieces of legislation in American history.”
President Biden will sign the bill on Friday.
