220-211 with biden looking on from the executive mansion. there we go. [ applause ] the white house says the president plans to sign the legislation on friday. americans should know this aid they re about to get is from the democrats. that is not a political statement at all. only democrats voted for it. not a single republican in the house or the senate. this is the most consequential legislation that many of us will ever be a party to. we said if we won those two seats in georgia we would get things done. mr. ossoff and mr. warnock told the citizens of georgia if they were elected, they would make sure that the actual promises made would be promises kept. this bill offers one of the largest infusions of federal aid since the great depression. in many ways it redraws our social safety net and thus has been described in terms of the new deal and the great society. it includes those $1,400 stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits, funds for states and sm ....
get started today. we are now just hours away from the house taking its final vote on president biden s landmark $1.9 trillion covid relief legislation. the final passage tomorrow expected along party lines. of course doubtful any republicans will support it. the president says he ll sign the bill into law as soon as it gets into his desk. stimulus checks will be in the hands of needy americans in the next few weeks. and queen elizabeth saying she s saddened at meghan and harry bombshell accusations. we are likely hours away from president biden s massive covid relief bill passing. that means $1,400 checks to struggling americans, billions of dollars for vaccines and covid testing. as biden once said to the former president barack obama, this is a big eff ing dealing. this is the key piece of legislation they knew they wanted to they didn t have to scale down the scope and size. it remains a $1.9 trillion investment. it did lose some pieces. it lost the $15 minimum ....
rescue bill of my lifetime is now very likely to be signed into law. saturday after an all-night session, senate democrats passed the $1.9 trillion covid relief package in a strict party line vote. democrats all voted yes. republicans all voted no. because senators made some changes to the bill, it now has to go back to the democratic controlled house which is expected to pass the identical senate version this week, possibly as early as tomorrow. so the bill would then go to the president, president biden for his signature. take a step back. we re in the early part of march. right? we re not at the 100-day marker yet. this is an incredible victory for both the country, the biden administration, the democratic party, which held together. amid unified opposition from congressional republicans. they didn t get a vote in either house. they tried to break the party apart. that s republicans did. by forcing tough votes on amendments and arguing against the bill in public. but ....
