AOC Is Upset: Progressives Took Major Losses in Coronavirus Relief Bill The new version of the bill also has stricter income eligibility requirements for the $1,400 direct payments than the original bill passed by the House earlier this month. President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package is expected to hit his desk later this week, as progressive Democrats tangle in frustration after taking a trio of blows from the Senate that knocked off far-Left provisions in the updated version of the massive bill. House progressives, however, indicated that they will still stand behind the stimulus, despite Senate Democratic leaders reaching agreements last week to conciliate centrist demands. The legislation would extend the existing $300 weekly unemployment benefit through Sept. 6, as well as offer tax relief on the first $10,200 in jobless insurance for households making under $150,000.
