“As Congress enters the bill faster than we expected, the president will sign the U.S. recovery plan in an hour today. The @VP will join him at the Oval. The event they will sign here tomorrow – the White House,” White said. House Press Secretary Jen Zaki said in a tweet.
President Biden said the Govt-19 relief package he signed a few minutes ago was “important to rebuild the backbone of this country.”
“In the weeks since the bill was debated, it has become clear that the American people, Democrats, independents, and friends of our Republican Party have made it clear that they strongly support the US bailout plan. Said Biden from the Oval Office.
Biden added: “And I think most people will do this – this landmark law is about rebuilding the backbone of this country and delivering it to the people of this country, the working people, the middle class, the people. Opportunity. That is the essence.
