US COVID-19 relief bill set for final approval on Wednesday

Democrats in the US House have scheduled the final vote on the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.

The US House of Representatives will vote on Wednesday to approve President Joe Biden’s sweeping $1.9 trillion coronavirus rescue package for the United States, Democratic leaders said. “It is a remarkable, historic transformative piece of legislation that goes a long way toward crushing the virus and solving our economic crisis,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a news conference at the US Capitol on Tuesday. The Democratic-controlled House on Tuesday set procedures for the approval of the US Senate’s amended version of the $1.9 trillion spending bill.
