U.S. President Joe Biden was officially inaugurated last Wednesday (20), but Biden had proposed a $1.9 trillion economic bailout plan on the 14th of this month, but senators raised different views in a conference call on the 24th of local Time, including the issue of each person getting a $1,400 stimulus check. Although Biden became president and the Democrats have a majority in the Senate and House of Representatives, so they can be said to be in full power, Biden’s first negotiations with Congress to begin the economic bailout plan have met with setbacks.
According to the U.S. Politico News, a bipartisan group of 16 senators had already held a conference call with White House National Economic Council Director Brian Dees and others that afternoon. Sources said the senators mentioned that they were very supportive of more funding for vaccine distribution, although some were still hesitant to spend money on the issue.
Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins noted that she was the first to suggest that funds must be allocated to vaccine distribution, and many others have since expressed support. The economic bailout, which is also available to people earning up to $300,000 a year, should focus on low-income workers.
Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen also said, “More data on the status of state and local government funding should be provided to make it easier to understand the government’s priorities and how to carry out the program, after all, there are many things that need assistance. In addition, the Biden Administration is not only the majority party in the U.S. Congress and the House and Senate, but the economic bailout plan has been frequently blocked, the report also pointed out that the 75-minute conference call was seen as one of the first major meetings to gain cross-party support.
In fact, Biden proposed a $1.9 trillion economic bailout plan on the 14th to address the worsening Wuhan pneumonia Epidemic and boost the U.S. economic recovery, but whether the plan can be approved by the U.S. Congress is still in doubt.
