The House was originally scheduled to pass the gigantic relief bill on Tuesday, but the lower house had only received Senate processing documents that morning.

The revised bill, which the upper house voted 50-49 to move forward early Saturday morning, includes $ 1,400 stimulus checks for most Americans, extended unemployment benefits, and aid to state and local governments.

However, the revised version removes language increasing the minimum wage to $ 15 an hour after the Senate parliamentarian ruled the provision violated budget reconciliation rules. It also reduces the threshold for partial stimulus checks to $ 80,000 for individuals and $ 160,000 for couples.

Pelosi expressed confidence on Tuesday that the bill would pass.

“Our members have good judgment and they know this bill is simply something historic and transformative. … It is difficult for us to understand how Republicans can vote against this bill because it has such an impact on their constituents, ”Pelosi said.

“We feel pretty confident,” Pelosi said. “I’m really excited. I just can’t hide it.
