President Joe Biden on March 11 signed the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, championing it as supported by most Americans despite it receiving no Republican votes.
“In the weeks that this bill has been discussed and debated, it’s clear that an overwhelming percentage of the American people—Democrats, independents, or Republican friends—have made it clear—the people out there—made it clear they strongly support the American Rescue Plan,” Biden told reporters in the White House’s Oval Office.
