House Democrats Pass COVID Relief Bill

On Thursday, House Democrats passed a revised version of their COVID-19 relief legislation, an updated version of The Heroes Act. The $2.2 trillion package was approved by a vote of 214-207, with no Republicans voting in favor. The bill will not become law, but serves as the latest marker of Democratic priorities and messaging as the two parties continue to negotiate over key areas of disagreement.
