President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet today with ten Republican senators.
They'll discuss the GOP lawmakers' proposed coronavirus relief plan, which is significantly smaller than the nearly $2 trillion proposal Biden and congressional Democrats are pushing. The Republicans want $600 billion in COVID-related funding, including $160 billion for vaccine distribution, as well as COVID testing and protective equipment. It would also provide economic relief for Americans hit hardest by economic fallout from the pandemic.
