Administration and congressional leaders raced on Saturday to agree to an economic stimulus plan as Vice President Mike Pence and his wife tested negative for the coronavirus.
Administration and congressional leaders raced on Saturday to reach agreement on a more than $1-trillion stimulus plan for an economy reeling from pandemic-related closures and job losses, as Vice President Mike Pence and his wife tested negative for the coronavirus after a member of his White House staff proved to be infected.
One of the most controversial issues has been Senate Republicans’ plan to send one or more payments directly to most middle-income taxpayers. Many payments would be $1,200 a person, or $2,400 a couple, and $500 per child. But low-wage workers would receive only about $600. Nearly 300 people in the U.S. have died from the disease — just over three weeks since the country’s first death — and the virus has infected more than 240,000 others, according to a Johns Hopkins University tracker.In the United States, its rapid spread has put intense pressure on hospitals and healthcare workers, particularly in New York, California and Washington, the states that have been hit hardest.
“We have so many companies making so many products,” Trump said Saturday, citing Hanesbrands Inc.'s willingness to retrofit clothing factories to produce masks. “We have the act to use in case we need it.”
