The Senate has passed a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, helping to clear the way for millions of Americans to potentially receive $1,400 stimulus checks, yet President Joe Biden and the House of Representatives still have to approve it some time this week.
On Saturday, Biden stated: “This plan will get checks out the door starting this month to the Americans that so desperately need the help.” For many Americans who are currently receiving unemployment benefits or are unable to afford food and rent, Biden’s stimulus gives a much-needed boost to lift the financial burden of their shoulders, even if temporarily.
Surprising headline, indeed.
Senator Bernie Sanders had recently proposed that the $15-an-hour federal minimum wage increase should stay in the Covid-19 relief plan currently being discussed, which would amount to $1.9 billion dollars as it stands.
Arizona Democratic Senator Krysten Sinema joined a few other democrats who sided with Republicans against Sanders proposal, which lead to a rejection by the Senate: 58-42.
But is this why she s being referred to as Marie Antoinette on social media? Not exactly. According to
AZCentral.com, she literally carried a cake to the Senate when she voted against the proposal.
That combined with her little curtsy as she thumbs downed the proposal probably did it, though.
