Biden to sign $1.9T COVID relief bill today ahead of primetime speech

Biden initially wasn’t supposed to ink the historic stimulus legislation until Friday, but the White House sent out notice that he will instead sign it Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in the Oval Office. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to attend the signing ceremony, the White House said.
