Biden “No time to waste”… Urging the Senate to pass the economic stimulus bill

US President Joe Biden urged the Senate to pass a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) worth $1.9 trillion (about 2149 trillion won) to pass economic stimulus.

According to CNN and the Washington Post (WP) on the 27th (local time), President Biden said, “I hope that the Senate will take quick action,” and “There is no time to waste” after the economic stimulus bill was passed in the House of Representatives.

“If you act decisively, quickly and boldly, you can overcome the virus,” he said. “(The House of Representatives) voted to put $1,400 into vaccinations and American pockets, one step closer to extending unemployment benefits. “He emphasized.

After the stimulus bill passed the House, President Biden called the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to express his gratitude for his leadership.

The economic stimulus bill passed by the US House of Representatives with 219 votes in favor versus 212 votes against was passed to the Senate.

However, there is a prospect that it will not be easy for the buyang bill to pass through the Senate as it is. This is because there is opposition within the Democratic Party over the plan to raise the minimum wage included in the stimulus plan.

If the Senate revises the proposed minimum wage increase, the House must vote again on the amendment.
