the senate was working on this overnight and last minute demands voting it straight down through party lines. not a single republican in attendance voted for it and not a single democrat voted against it. president biden spoke after it passed. i promised the american people help was on the way . people lying in bed at night, staring at the ceiling wondering, will i lose my job or my insurance or my home? they will get direct payments of $1400 per person. our congressional correspondent jessica dean. this is not a done deal just yet. what happens now and when will americans see the money? reporter: ana, what happens now is that this bill is going to go back to the house. we know that the vote there has been set for tuesday. that s expected to pass. they re going to vote on the changes that were made from their original bill and that s about who is eligible for the $1400 checks, unemployment changes to unemployment benefits and then also remember, the $15 an hour minimum
Issues of whether there s impropriety or not. so without in he analysis of his qualifications i thought the meeting alone disqualified him. it is troubling that he is running an office that is perhaps one of the most important in the country. and doesn t have the benefit of advice and consent of the senate. i want to make sure, because of that meeting, you were going to not return a blue slip. correct. which is a senate process in which the home state senator exercises veto over the nomination? correct. is that the reason they ve done this weird end around the nomination? i m trying to figure this out. why haven t they formally nominated him? do you think that s why they did that. i don t know but i wouldn t be surprised. kristin gillibrand of new york, thanks for making time with me tonight. thank you. justice for bill cosby. accusers today, what his guilty movement means for the me, too movement and a white house birthday in tonight s thing 1, thing 2 next.
