The Senate will start work on an aggressive new stimulus package next week.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said lawmakers must act in a big and bold manner to deal with the ongoing economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak.
He said the Senate cannot "undershoot" the effort to address a continuing and urgent situation.
President Biden wants Congress to embrace a sweeping stimulus plan that will cost nearly two-trillion dollars.
Many Republicans are balking over the price tag.
