“Hope is on the horizon, and help is on the way,” Chuck Schumer said during a Rose Garden event on Friday celebrating the signing into law of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief measure that now stands as a major early accomplishment of the Biden administration.

The party reassured Americans that it was singularly focused on rescuing the economy and ending the coronavirus pandemic.
“Help is here, and we will not stop working for you,” Biden said.
