President Joe Biden on Friday said he’s prepared to move forward with his COVID-19 relief plan without GOP support, after zero Republicans backed a budget resolution linked to the plan this week.

“A lot of folks are losing hope, and I believe the American people are looking right now to their government for help, to do our job, to not let them down. So I’m going to act, and I’m going to act fast,” Biden said in remarks from the White House after meeting with Democrat lawmakers.
