House Passes $484 Billion Bill <br />for Small Business Aid The new bill was passed <br />by a 388-5-1 vote. Four Republicans and one Democrat voted <br />against the proposal, while independent <br />Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan voted "present." The only Democrat who opposed it was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who said that the bill <br />did not do enough to <br />help struggling individuals <br />and governments. The proposal was sent to President Trump, who <br />is expected to sign the new bill into law during <br />a ceremony at noon EST on Friday. The latest stimulus package is meant to <br />help small businesses and hospitals who have <br />been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The funding will also help expand <br />coronavirus testing, which is needed for <br />Americans to start returning to normal life. After Trump signs the bill, the U.S. government’s emergency response will total more than <br />$2.5 trillion across four bills.
