The United States House of Representatives passed on Wednesday a $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill proposed by the Democrats. A total of 220 US representatives voted in favor of the bill without a Republican vote, while 211 lawmakers voted against the legislation, including Democratic representative Jared Golden of Maine. The bill includes $1,400 direct stimulus payments to US citizens, an extension of $300 weekly jobless benefits for unemployed Americans through September 6, tax credit expansions, around $20 billion in vaccine development and distribution funds, as well as $350 billion in state and local aid. White House press secretary Jen Psaki unveiled that US President Joe Biden would sign the bill into law on Friday.
