President Biden signed the stimulus bill, a day earlier than planned, ahead of a speech tonight marking a year since the pandemic was declared.

Mr. Biden had originally been scheduled to sign the $1.9 trillion bill on Friday, but moved up the timeline to Thursday afternoon as low- and middle-income Americans are desperate for the round of direct payments that the bill includes.

He is also set to deliver a prime-time televised address around 8 p.m., beginning an aggressive campaign to inform voters of the benefits in the relief package.
