The House of Representatives will approve the Senate-amended $1.9 trillion Biden relief bill today, and many checks will go out to individuals before the end of March. States and local governments will get financial aid, schools will get money to reopen safely, more funding will go to the vaccination efforts in each state, and unemployed workers will continue to get benefits.
Republican legislators voted against these things. Not a single Republican in either the House or the Senate voted for the relief bill. That was a mistake, because the bill is overwhelmingly popular with the American public.
The charts above are from a survey done by the Pew Research Center between March 1st and 7th of a national sample of 12,055 adults, with a 1.5 point margin of error.
Note that 70% of the public supports the relief bill.
