According to CNN, President-elect Biden is expected to unveil a coronavirus relief plan this Thursday that includes the largest direct payment yet for American families, significant state and local funding — including for coronavirus vaccine distribution and other emergency spending measures — to help those struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
Brian Deese, Biden’s pick to lead the National Economic Council, said Wednesday at a conference that the package will include $2,000 stimulus checks, and address other relief measures like unemployment insurance, the news site notes. Biden is set to announce the details of his plan in Wilmington, Delaware, this evening.
As we previously reported, current Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell initially rejected a standalone bill on increasing the value of the checks from $600, but with Democrats about to take control of the chamber — and of Congress — following victories in two Georgia Senate runoff elections, Biden will likely have the votes to approve increased relief spending, CNN reports.
