The House has passed a $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill despite opposition from Republicans and some Democrats. The Senate isn't expected to take it up.
The measure was approved by a vote of 208-199 despite opposition from Republicans as well as from some moderate and progressive Democrats. Fourteen Democrats crossed party lines to vote against it and one Republican voted in favor.
The legislation unveiled earlier this week also did not include recurring monthly payments, which some progressives had pushed for. The legislation would provide nearly $1 trillion for state and local governments, a $200 billion fund for essential worker hazard pay, an additional $75 billion for Covid-19 testing, tracing and isolation efforts, and a new round of direct payments to Americans of up to $6,000 per household, according to the House Appropriations Committee.
