Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has called on President Donald Trump to sign the $2.3 trillion spending package, which would provide $600 stimulus checks to most Americans.
The funding bill, which passed both houses of Congress in a bipartisan fashion, has been the center of attention in recent days after Trump urged lawmakers to increase the stimulus checks to $2,000 per person. The president slammed Congress for spending money on what he described as “unnecessary” programs and foreign aid, and “wasteful items” while Americans continue to struggle due to pandemic lockdowns.
