The bill passed on a partisan 50-49 vote.
All proposed Republican amendments were defeated, although some provisions were scaled back to appease conservative Dems.
Biden will most definitely sign this. A big win for him.
Average Americans can expect to get individual payments and expanded unemployment benefits.
This bill has broad support among Americans and even among polled Republicans.
I seem to recall that Trump (before he lost) advocated going big, with similar payments of $1400 to suffering Americans.
