S President Joe Biden on Thursday signed into law his one point nine trillion dollar covid relief bill, one of the largest economic stimulus measures in American history and Biden's first major victory in office.

Even though it is popular among Americans, the people out there made it clear they strongly support the American rescue plan.

From the get go, Democrats were eager to get a final bill to Biden's desk for his signature before the current enhanced federal unemployment benefits expire on Thursday.

Their hopes were realized, with Biden putting pen to paper in the Oval Office ahead of an evening speech where he is set to mark the one year anniversary of the U.

 What I'm talking about tonight is the impact on the virus and how we're gonna end this pandemic.
