- Chuck Schumer, who will be Senate Majority Leader on January 20th, confirms that increasing stimulus checks to $2,000 will be the top priority for Congress once Biden takes office.
- Biden plans to share the details of his coronavirus relief package on Thursday, January 14th.
- Biden's stimulus package is also expected to include unemployment assistance, aid for state and local governments, and funding for vaccine distribution.
One week from today, President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States (or 47th if President Trump is impeached and removed before January 20th). He'll take office with the coronavirus pandemic still raging, unemployment on the rise, and less than a month after rioters launched an attack on the Capitol at the behest of Trump, who spent the past two months lying about having the election stolen from him.
Needless to say, Biden will have his hands full from day one, but we already know what the next president would like to accomplish as soon as the transfer of power is complete. On Monday, Biden confirmed that a new stimulus bill will be his first priority, and he plans to reveal the specifics of the package later this week. In the meantime, the incoming Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, has echoed Biden's promise for bigger stimulus checks.
