News Desk: Before taking office, US President Joe Biden announced plans for a 1.9 trillion relief package to help the economy recover from the Corona epidemic. But Republican lawmakers are uniting to block his package. Experts say the new president’s relief package faces major challenges. If a Democrat senator goes against this package, this plan will get stuck.
There is widespread support for US citizens in financial crisis due to the Corona. Because if it passes, American families will get 1,400 at a time. 1 lakh crore dollars will be allocated in this sector. In addition,41.5 billion will be provided to combat the Corona epidemic and 44.5 billion for small businesses. The plan is now a priority for the new Biden administration.
According to a CNN report, Republican lawmakers from both houses of Congress are uniting to block Biden’s relief package. The House of Representatives will vote on the bill next Friday. There is a majority of Democrats. As a result, the bill could pass easily despite opposition from Republicans. But both parties have the same number of members in the Senate (50-50). The bill would get stuck if a Democrat went against the Senate.
If the Republicans oppose, it will increase their political risk, the report said. Because most Americans support this bill. At a GOP luncheon last Tuesday, party leaders discussed highlighting the weaknesses of the relief package. Republicans are hoping their party feud is over and they are now united to fight the Democrats.
According to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the package is entirely for Democrats. People will be happy to get the check. But they need to know what is behind it. And Democrats need to remember, we have equal seats in the Senate. But Democrats say there is public support for the package. Winning the White House and the Senate is proof of that. They say Americans in distress need immediate help. Next to this bill they want to work with Republicans. However, this plan will not be ruined in any way.
President Joe Biden has rescinded a ban on entry for U.S. green card applicants by the former Trump administration. The ban was supposed to remain in place until the end of March. But with Biden lifting the ban on Wednesday, legal immigrants who have been granted a green card will be able to enter the United States.
