Trump Signs $2.2 Trillion Coronavirus Stimulus

Summary from the AllSides News Team

President Donald Trump signed a $2.2 trillion stimulus bill into law Friday afternoon, aimed at stabilizing the economy and American life amid the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. The legislation — the largest of its kind in U.S. history — includes direct payments to individuals, increased unemployment benefits, and bailouts for small business and corporations. An effort from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to force a roll call vote Friday failed; Trump called for Massie to be kicked out of the Republican party for purportedly trying to hold up the legislation.
