Congress Approves Budget, Paving the Way For Biden's COVID-19 Relief Package Enlarge this image toggle caption Senate TV via AP Senate TV via AP Updated at 2:31 p.m. ET The House quickly approved a budget resolution intended to speed the drafting of President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. Sponsor Message The Senate process took several days — Harris arrived to break the tie on the resolution shortly after 5:30 a.m. following an all-night "vote-a-rama," which brought hours of votes on dozens of amendments, many intended to force legislators to take a public stand on unrelated controversial issues. If forced to choose between acting quickly or finding bipartisan compromise, Biden said: "That's an easy choice – I'm going to help the American people who are hurting – now."
