House Passes $484 Billion Bill
for Small Business Aid The new bill was passed
by a 388-5-1 vote. Four Republicans and one Democrat voted
against the proposal, while independent
Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan voted "present." The only Democrat who opposed it was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who said that the bill
did not do enough to
help struggling individuals
and governments. The proposal was sent to President Trump, who
is expected to sign the new bill into law during
a ceremony at noon EST on Friday. The latest stimulus package is meant to
help small businesses and hospitals who have
been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The funding will also help expand
coronavirus testing, which is needed for
Americans to start returning to normal life. After Trump signs the bill, the U.S. government’s emergency response will total more than
$2.5 trillion across four bills.
