When Will Biden s Stimulus Package Pass? Schumer Promises March Signing Date 02/19/21 AT 5:21 PM Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has confirmed the stimulus timeline set out by Nancy Pelosi Thursday, but major roadblocks remain to the bill’s passage. Democrats hope to use budget reconciliation to push the bill through without Republican support before federal benefits run dry on March 14, The Washington Post reports. Budget reconciliation prevents a Senate filibuster, lowering the threshold of passage from 60 votes to 50. With Kamala Harris as a tiebreaker, Democrats have just enough votes to make the work. It would mean, however, that they need every member of their caucus on board. Some Democratic Senators have signaled they’re not comfortable with the bill.
