(Washington, DC) -- The U.S. House has passed President Biden's one-point-nine-trillion-dollar pandemic relief package. The economic stimulus bill passed early Saturday morning, mostly down party lines with a 219-to-212 vote. No Republicans voted for the bill, and two Democrats voted against it. The bill now goes to the Senate, where lawmakers are expected to remove a provision that would increase the federal minimum wage. If the bill passes the Senate, many Americans could be getting direct payments of 14-hundred dollars.
