Democrat Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms plans to hire 250 new police officers amid a reelection campaign after homicides surged 58 percent in 2020.

The president read a brief statement to reporters from a card of talking points to promote the bill.

American taxpayers will provide the neediest 20 percent of their countrymen a 20 percent increase in income upon the passage and signature of the “American Rescue Plan,” according to a study by the Urban Policy Tax Center.

The $1.9 trillion coronavirus package, which includes $1,400 stimulus payments and $350 billion to cities and states, passed the Senate Saturday.
