The House was originally set to pass the gigantic relief bill on Tuesday, but the lower house received only Senate processing papers that morning.
The revised bill, which the upper house voted 50-49 to move on Saturday morning, includes $ 1,400 stimulus checks for most Americans, extended unemployment benefits and help for state and local governments.
However, the revised version removes language that raises the minimum wage to $ 15 an hour after the Senate congressman decided that the clause violated the budget reconciliation rules. It also reduces the limit on partial stimulus checks to $ 80,000 for individuals and $ 160,000 for couples.
The Senate version also extends the weekly unemployment payment of $ 300 through September and makes the first $ 10,200 in tax-free unemployment benefits for families with incomes up to $ 150,000.
Pelosi expressed confidence on Tuesday that the project would be approved.
“Our members have common sense and know that this legislation is historic and transformative. … It is difficult for us to understand how Republicans can vote against this bill because it has a huge impact on their voters, ”said Pelosi.
“We are very confident,” said Pelosi. “I’m so excited. I just can’t seem to hide it.”
