The House has passed a $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill to help support Americans during the pandemic on Friday.
According to Business Insider, the HEROS act also known as the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act was proposed to follow up with the CARES Act in March. The bill was introduced earlier this week by House Democrats in front of the Senate despite criticism. It was approved by the House with a vote of 208 to 199 but it highly unlikely to be passed by the Senate due to the GOP.
