This is when you can expect $1,400 stimulus checks to be sent out

[Jacob Siegal]

• The Senate wrapped up its second impeachment trial of Donald Trump last Friday, once again opting to acquit the former president with a vote of 57-43.
• Now that the trial has ended, Congress can turn its attention back to the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package that President Biden has been pushing for.
• Congress is in recess throughout this week, but Democrats expect to get the bill through the House and the Senate by the end of next week, at which point it will be sent to President Biden's desk and will be signed into law. Stimulus checks should start going out soon after that.

On Friday, the Senate voted 57-43 to acquit Donald Trump on the charge of inciting an insurrection at the US Capitol. 67 votes were needed to convict the former president, but that was never going to be within reach, even if the House impeachment managers had gone through with calling in witnesses, significantly extending the trial.

The result of the trial aside, Congress can now turn its full attention to other matters, including that of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package that Joe Biden has been pushing for ever since he took office. Both chambers of Congress are on a recess this week, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made it clear that Democrats want to get a full House vote on the bill before the end of the month. If the bill can make its way through the House early in the week of February 22nd, there's a chance that it could receive a vote in the Senate by Friday, February 26th.
