President Joe Biden signs the American Rescue Plan into law. The law will help millions of families still struggling a year after Washed Up 45 declared the coronavirus pandemic was active. The president will address the passage of the law and the benefits of it in a Thursday primetime address.
The president credits the Democrats in the House and Senate for pushing forward his proposals. The Democrats passed the legislation on Monday. The president was initially planning on signing the law on Friday but decided to do it on Thursday.
The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill includes direct payments of up to $1,400 for individuals, billions to help schools and colleges reopen, and funding for vaccine distribution – along with many other measures aimed at helping America recover from the pandemic.
"I believe this… historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country and giving people of this nation – working people, middle class folks, people that built the country – a fighting chance," Biden said, before signing the bill from the Oval Office as Vice President Kamala Harris stood behind him. "I’m going to have a lot more to say about that tonight and the next couple days."

The signing comes days before a federal boost to unemployment benefits was set to expire on Sunday.
No Republican voted for the legislation, which passed the House on Wednesday and the Senate on Saturday. One Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), voted against it.
Republicans complain the bill is too expensive and is packed with provisions not directly related to combating the pandemic.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) criticized the bill as a "laundry list of leftwing priorities that predate the pandemic and do not meet the needs of American families."
Democrats say it is one of the largest anti-poverty bills in a generation, aiming to deliver on Biden's promise to send aid to millions of Americans grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden said an “overwhelming percentage” of the American people support the package.
In his primetime address, the first of his presidency, Biden is expected to talk about the more than 500,000 American lives lost, and the millions of people whose lives have been changed, in the year since the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a pandemic.
Biden is also likely to boast about what his administration's efforts to speed up vaccine production and vaccinations.
