Janet Yellen, Joe BIden's pick as treasury secretary, urged senators to pass the new president's $1.9trn stimulus package, saying there should be no compromise in helping people who are struggling through the pandemic. The measures have run into stiff opposition from Republicans, even among moderates, who balk at adding more stimulus to December's $935bn package. Mr Biden's plan should easily clear the House. The Democrats also control the Senate, but may have to deploy a legislative tactic to get the bill through.
珍妮特·耶伦，乔·拜登任命的财政部部长，催促参议员通过新总统1.9万亿美元的经济刺激计划，所谓在帮助遭受新冠的人民时，不该有所妥协。这些措施，遭到了共和党甚至温和派的强烈反对，他们拒绝在基于12月份9350万亿美元的刺激计划上在做任何追加动作。拜登先生的计划应该会在白宫顺利通过。虽然民主党也控制了参议院，但可能不得不通过立法的方式获得批准。
