How Every House Member Voted on the Coronavirus Relief Bill
ByJASMINE C. LEEMARCH 14, 2020

The House voted 363-40 early on Saturday to pass acoronavirus relief package, a move that came after the World Health Organization declared the virus apandemic. The bill includes free virus testing for those who lack insurance, paid sick leave, family and medical leave programs, enhanced unemployment benefits, additional food aid and federal funds for Medicaid.
How Every Representative Voted
All 40 votes against the relief bill were cast by Republicans. Representative Chip Roy, Republican of Texas,said Friday nightthat he opposed the bill because it would “expand government massively” and “put pressure on health resources.” But afterhours of discussionsbetween White House officials and lawmakers, President Trump late Friday night gave the first indication that he backed the measure and wanted Republicans to vote for it, tweeting, “Look forward to signing the final Bill, ASAP!”
