President Joe Biden's COVID-19 relief bill has been passed by the house, and now it is up to Biden himself to approve it. This bill is valued at around $1.9 trillion, and is a pandemic relief package. Passing this bill was one of President Biden's first campaign promises, and something that he discusses quite frequently. Not a single republican voted to pass this bill, but it still got enough votes to pass to be put on Biden's desk.
Some features of this bill are up to $1,400 stimulus checks, $300 boost to unemployment, expansion of child tax credit, and money being sent to K-12 schools to get students back in the classroom.
