President-elect Joe Biden introduces science team | USA TODAY

President-elect Joe Biden's $1.9-trillion COVID-19 relief proposal quickly drew criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in Congress after he unveiled the plan Thursday.

Biden's proposal includes $20 billion for a national vaccination program, $1,400 stimulus checks and raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour. But progressive lawmakers wanted bigger checks and some Republicans argue the plan doesn't do enough to restart an economy decimated by the pandemic.

Im trying to be supportive even though I don't care for him, but i find it hard to understand what he's trying to say. Honestly, if i had voted Dem, i would have voted for Harris before him. Missing DT already.

This is like when the teacher calls on that one kid to read out loud and he reads in the most monotone, boring way possible.

Watching Harris at the end its so obvious why she went nowhere in the primaries.
