The Senate passed a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package Saturday, capping off a marathon overnight session after Democrats resolved internal clashes that threatened to derail President Joe Biden’s top legislative priority.
The far-reaching legislation includes $1,400 stimulus checks, $300-per-week jobless benefits through the summer, a child allowance of up to $3,600 for one year, $350 billion for state aid, $34 billion to expand Affordable Care Act subsidies and $14 billion for vaccine distribution.
The final vote was 50-49 along party lines, with every Republican voting “no.” It came after Democrats voted down a swath of Republican amendments on repeated votes of 50-49 to avoid disrupting the delicate agreement between progressive and moderate senators.
Before it can be signed by Biden, the legislation will have to be passed again by the House because the Senate made changes to its version. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said the chamber would vote Tuesday on the Senate-passed legislation.

“the legislation will have to be passed again by the House because the Senate made changes to its version”
Oh boy. So basically, we’re never going to get our $1400.00 check. Sad.
Momentarily the Senate and Congress have not gone back to session because most of them were coronavirused. You don’t have to believe me. Check what’s going on in DC yourself. The WH is closed and dark and there’s nobody there. The military is currently controlling the country, not Biden who’s in his basement with actors preforming in Hollywood for him.
Once President Trump will get back be’ez”H we’ll get our checks. In the meantime pray for the hatzlachah and siyatta Dishmaya of Trump and his military.
You have a very creative imagination.
Hmm, so if each of the 328.2M USA citizens is only getting $1400, that accounts for about 459 B leaving over about
1,4 T still to go. How much of that is bloat, using Covid as a cover to fund their own agendas?
