President-elect Joe Biden described the $908 billion pandemic relief proposal from a bipartisan group in the House and Senate as “just a down payment” and that he expects Congress to approve more stimulus spending in early 2021.

“They’re on their way to being able to come up with a package that meets the basic immediate needs that we have, but I’ve made it real clear, it’s just a down payment,” he told reporters Friday in Wilmington, Delaware.
