Biden releases statement on COVID-19 relief bill
Biden released a statement on Saturday afternoon amping up the pressure on Trump to sign the COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress.
Biden said the “abdication of responsibility” by Trump has “devastating consequences” for Americans while reiterating that while the bill is "critical," it is also just a first step toward getting struggling families and businesses the help they need.
"It is the day after Christmas, and millions of families don’t know if they’ll be able to make ends meet because of President Donald Trump’s refusal to sign an economic relief bill approved by Congress with an overwhelming and bipartisan majority," the statement reads.
