On Sunday, President Donald Trump signed off on the hefty virus relief bill and government spending package that he had previously dubbed a “disgrace.”
The $900 billion virus stimulus bill, which came across his desk earlier last week, allocates $600 checks for Americans, and Trump had said he wanted to bump this number up to $2,000 before signing.
He said yesterday that the senators would “start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000.”
“This relief legislation is a down payment on what is needed to crush the virus, put money in the pockets of the American people, and honor our heroes — our health-care workers, first responders, transit and sanitation workers, and teachers,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
