President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday urged Congress to pass a “robust package” to deal with the economic crisis wrought by the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden spoke in Delaware to introduce his proposed economic team for his incoming administration. His remarks came as a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the House and Senate unveiled a $908 billion stimulus proposal Tuesday in an effort to break a monthslong impasse that’s now threatening to tip the economy back into contraction.
