Biden pushes coronavirus relief bill, tells Americans, ‘I think we’re going to pass' it
Biden continued to push his COVID-19 rescue bill during his Weekly Conversation video shared on the White House’sThis week, Biden spoke to Tammy, a health care worker and single mother of four in Michigan. She said the $1,400 direct payment in the bill would help her pay off rent, water and gas bills and buy healthier food for her kids.
“I was one of the people who was trying to balance paying bills and feeding my kids, or you know, getting the healthier choices versus what they really gotta have,” Tammy said to the president. “Sometimes I have to put back a bag of apples versus getting the pack of meat because the funds wasn’t there.”“I think we’re going to be able to pass the bill which will get you a check for $7,000 dollars,” Biden said, combining $1,400 for her and her four children to get the total.
“I hope that the help that’s on the way in terms of these direct cash payments, to food assistance and the rest -- I hope it helps,” he added.
