Lone Democrat Votes Against Stimulus Bill, Reveals Reason; 3 More States Ease Virus Restrictions

March 11 marks one year since the WHO declared the virus a pandemic and everything changed. To mark the occasion, President Biden is set to give his first prime-time speech tonight. It’s been 50 days since he took office and there have been rising calls about his absence.

President Biden just signed his $1.9T relief bill into law today. Republicans and Democrats still fiercely disagree about the stimulus. Republicans say now the country will pay the price. One Democrat, Representative Jared Golden, voted against the bill. He issued a statement explaining why.
