No Republicans voted in favor of it.<\/span> The bill extends the COVID-19 unemployment benefits booster at $300 per week until early September 2021, sends $1,400 direct stimulus checks to individuals making less than $75,000 per year, provides $350 billion in aid for states, local governments, and tribal governments, and also provides $130 billion for schools, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/07\/us\/politics\/whats-in-the-stimulus-bill.html\">reports<\/a> The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p><span>One Democrat, Congressman Jared Golden, voted against the bill \u2014 as he did when the House<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/house-dem-who-voted-against-1-9-trillion-stimulus-says-process-should-have-involved-republicans\"><span>passed an earlier version<\/span><\/a> <span>of it late last month. Congressman Kurt Schrader (D-OR), who joined Golden in voting against the previous version, voted in favor of it this time around, despite his own<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepSchrader\/status\/1369012649321656320\"><span>self-described concerns<\/span><\/a> <span>about the \u201csize and scope.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said during the Wednesday vote that Biden expects the bill to pass, and plans to sign it on Friday afternoon.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During remarks on the House floor before the vote, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called the legislation a \u201cforce for fairness and justice\u201d in the United States. \u201cThis legislation is one of the most transformative and historic bills any of us will have the opportunity to support, it\u2019s one of the most transformative that I have seen in my more than thirty years in the Congress. It is as consequential as the Affordable Care Act,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) voiced strong opposition to the bill prior to the vote.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis isn\u2019t a rescue bill, it isn\u2019t a relief bill. It\u2019s a laundry list of left-wing priorities that predate the pandemic and do not meet the needs of American families,\u201d said McCarthy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cDemocrats say they need $130 billion to reopen schools. But their bill only allocates $6 billion to help schools this fiscal year,\u201d remarked the House minority leader. \u201cTwo-thirds of the total funding for education won\u2019t even be spent until 2023 or later. But don\u2019t worry, San Francisco will get their money now. The schools need to wait.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A previous version of the bill was passed in the House, but multiple elements were changed or scrapped in the Senate, including a $15 minimum wage increase provision. The weekly unemployment benefits booster has been reduced by $100 per week, and fewer individuals will qualify to receive direct stimulus checks due to a faster phase-out.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As The Daily Wire previously reported: \u201c<\/span><span>Under the new direct checks rules, individuals earning less than $75,000 per year will receive a $1,400 direct check, as will couples earning less than $150,000 per year. But under the expedited phase-out rules, individuals earning more than $80,000 will no longer qualify for partial checks, and neither will couples earning more than $160,000.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
