If Joe Biden wins, he already has a COVID-19 stimulus plan
Election Day is today. President Donald Trump's administration has paused negotiations with the Democratic party over a new stimulus deal that would provide much-needed funds for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump said Friday a relief package will come soon.
"After the election, we'll get the best stimulus package you've ever seen," Trump said Oct. 27 in a press briefing, indicating that he would be re-elected. If the results don't go that way, Trump isn't the only one with a plan. His opponent, Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden, also has a vision for economic stimulus.
On his website, Biden lays out his Emergency Action Plan to Save the Economy, which is a rundown of what he would do if he were the president right now. Although it's a speculative overview, the document provides insight on Biden's policy if he's elected president before a new stimulus bill passes.
It includes some elements we saw in the CARES Act, such as stimulus checks for qualified Americans and more unemployment benefits. Biden's plan also envisions new measures to provide additional financial help. Here's what's in it.
