150 corporate executives sign letter backing Biden's $1.9 trillion relief plan

150 top American business executives have signed a letter to Congress in support of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan.

"Congress should act swiftly and on a bipartisan basis to authorize a stimulus and relief package along the lines of the Biden-Harris administration’s proposed American Rescue Plan," the letter states.

"More than 10 million fewer Americans are working today than when the pandemic began, small businesses across the country are facing bankruptcy, and schools are struggling to reopen," the letter continues.

"The most vulnerable Americans — including women, people of color and low wage workers — are experiencing the worst of the pandemic, with unprecedented job loss, childcare burdens and food insecurity. States and cities have been crushed by pandemic-related expenses and revenue losses."

"The American Rescue Plan provides a framework for coordinated public-private efforts to overcome COVID-19 and to move forward with a new era of inclusive growth. The country’s business community is prepared to work with you to achieve these critical objectives," the letter finishes.

Among the signatories of the letter includes executives from various entertainment companies, banks, hedge funds, airlines, and tech giants.

The letter is expected to be formally delivered to Congress on Wednesday.

Republicans, however, have expressed skepticism towards the plan, which includes raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and expanding unemployment benefits. Some have argued that the plan would lead to higher inflation while others have expressed concern that it could send the deficit soaring.

Some Republicans have also expressed frustration with the lack of bipartisanship in crafting the bill, arguing that they have been shut out of the process.

Despite Republican opposition, the bill has received bipartisan support among the electorate, spelling potential trouble for the Republican opposition.
