adviser to covid act now. sabrina, let s just dive in on this. number one, let s talk about the substance of this legislation. you know, this is very progressive. it s not just this patchwork of, you know, people are struggling in america and let s get them money, but it is specifically, you know, let s get parents money because of their children. this is something that has been done in other countries, never really in america until now. can you speak to that and just what this offers up americans? well, i think that s what you heard the president speak to in his remarks just now talking about the substance of the bill. now, some of this is, of course, the immediate relief that the administration felt was necessary in response to the coronavirus pandemic like another round of stimulus checks, $1,400 direct payments that will start going out as soon as this weekend and continue to roll out in the coming weeks, but there is also an expansion of the child tax credit for anothe
well, guess what? they re going to be getting that check soon. that $1,400 check could land in your bank account as soon as this weekend, president biden said. democratic congressional leaders were also present to tout the plan. though not a single republican was there, given that not one republican voted for the legislation. president biden is going to try to boost public support for the law as he marks two new dates on every americans calendar, may 1st. that s when he says every adult will be eligible to get a covid vaccine. and july 4th, to mark sfg a new independence from coronavirus with small gatherings with friends and family. though, we should note, many americans did that last fourth of july. right now about 66 million americans have gotten one vaccine dose with 2.2 million doses being administered every day. now president biden wants to m maintain and speed up that pace. wish i could come out and shake hands with every one of you. reporter: moments ago, a ros
