President Donald Trump signed a $900 billion Covid-19 relief bill Sunday, the White House said, extending benefits to millions of Americans struggling through the pandemic. The package "providing coronavirus emergency response and relief" is part of a larger spending bill that, with Trump's signature, will avoid a government shutdown. On Sunday evening, Trump offered the vaguest of updates, tweeting, "Good news on Covid Relief Bill. Information to follow!" The White House did not respond to questions about what he meant.
In the face of growing economic hardship and spreading disease, lawmakers urged Trump on Sunday to sign the legislation immediately, then have Congress follow up with additional aid. Aside from unemployment benefits and relief payments to families, money for vaccine distribution, businesses, cash-starved public transit systems and more is on the line. Protections against evictions also hang in the balance.
