2020 Presidential candidate Joseph Biden.

President-elect Joe Biden announced plans for a sweeping Covid relief and economic stimulus package that would include closing the loophole that allows certain businesses to pay employees with disabilities subminimum wage and raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hour. Biden's proposal, called the American Rescue Plan, would also include one-time $1,400 checks for most individuals, a national vaccination program, increased support to state and local governments and boosted unemployment insurance, among other measures.
