(Bloomberg) Lawmakers across the political spectrum urged President Donald Trump to sign the $900 billion coronavirus stimulus bill passed with bipartisan support last week, as millions of Americans face a loss in benefits.
Sunday evening, after a rare day of being mostly silent on Twitter, Trump posted that “good news” was coming on the Covid relief bill, raising hopes that he planned to sign the legislation he’d criticized for days.
Earlier, Republican Senator Pat Toomey said Trump risked being remembered for creating “chaos and misery” at the end of his term if he takes no action on two crucial and intertwined spending bills and triggers a government shutdown.
