President-elect Biden introduces a $1.9 trillion spending plan

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden delivers remarks on the public health and economic crises, outlining his coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine rollout plan and economic relief package, to fund vaccinations and provide immediate, direct relief to working families and communities, and calls on both parties in Congress to move his proposals quickly. More than 60 members of Congress have tested positive for COVID-19, its antibodies or been diagnosed with the coronavirus as the nation continues to grapple with the pandemic. Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician at the U.S. Capitol, has been working to identify any individuals who had contact with the members who tested positive, according to guidance from the Office of the Attending Physician sent by House officials to members earlier this year.
