Senate passes $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill, including $1,400 stimulus checks, with NO Republican support

The final vote was 50-49 along party lines, with every Republican voting "no." It came after Democrats voted down a swath of Republican amendments on repeated votes of 50-49 to avoid disrupting the delicate agreement between progressive and moderate senators.

The far-reaching legislation includes $1,400 stimulus checks, $300-per-week jobless benefits through the summer, a child allowance of up to $3,600 for one year, $350 billion for state aid, $34 billion to expand Affordable Care Act subsidies and $14 billion for vaccine distribution.

Democrats care about people. Republicans do not.

Glad to hear it’s moving ahead. Still goes back to the house but that shouldn’t be a problem

Even now the Republicans will declare it is all wasted money but they will still spend it when they get it. Paul Ryan had a lifetime goal of eliminating social security but it still helped him personally. I say do not bite the hand that feeds you.

If all the Republican voters drop dead, there won't be anyone to vote them in again. It's sad they don't realize that.

It was so sad not a single Republican supported helping Americans.
