U.S Speaker Nancy Pelosi signs the $484 billion economic relief package to help small businesses, hospitals and first responders, as well as increase nationwide testing for the coronavirus.
Lawmakers, many donning masks per CDC guidelines, some wearing gloves, returned to vote in person on this fourth stimulus measure.
The measure now heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for his expected signature.
Thursday’s vote was 388-5, with one member, Independent Rep. Justin Amash voting “present.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York was the lone Democrat to oppose the measure along with Republican Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ken Buck of Colorado, Georgia’s Jody Hice, and Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
