The Biden administration will push Congress to pass a $1.9 trillion pandemic stimulus bill, including $1,400 in direct payments, according to a spokesman, who said it’s needed to avert an economic crisis.

Brian Deese, the director of the National Economic Council, has told reporters that he will speak to senators as part of a White House push to make the case for a larger stimulus package.
