President Joe Biden’s administration doesn’t support splitting his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief proposal in two, officials said Thursday.
“The needs of the American people are urgent from putting food on the table, to getting vaccines out the door to reopening schools. Those aren’t partisan issues. We are engaging with a range of voices—that’s democracy in action—we aren’t looking to split a package in two,” Jen Psaki, Biden’s press secretary, said in a tweet.
