Reuters reports that the bailout is the largest anti-poverty measure in the United States since the 1960s, totaling $1.9 trillion. Democrats hope to make the case official this Sunday (14), with a view to filling the funding gap after the Trump administration’s unemployment bailout expired so far.
The Senate 5 for the House of Representatives previously submitted a marathon debate on the bailout case, after 12 hours, 6 Democrats 50 seats were voted in favor, Republicans were present 49 seats voted against, the only did not vote is Alaska Senator Sullivan (Dan Sullivan), he did not attend the reason is an emergency at Home.
The Senate made changes to the House version, including raising the base hourly wage to $15 and reducing the original extension of unemployment assistance by one month. Now only waiting for the House to re-vote to pass the bill, it can be submitted to Biden to sign.
Pelosi said in an interview with reporters that the House will have to wait until the Senate submits the bill documents to start voting, “We will at least start moving on Wednesday at the latest.”
