The US House of Representatives has approved the bill, with a clear majority of 359 to 53.
It now heads to the Senate for voting.
I wanted to provide a heads up just on a "hope for the best but plan for the worst" basis, which is, there is no requirement for the Senate to take up the bill prior to midnight. There had been a 'deadline' given funding for the government was set to expire at midnight but there is a 7-day continuing resolution to provide ongoing funding which, in effect, allows the Senate to delay the stimulus bill vote should they so wish.
Just a heads up for any 'shock' headline that might come later.
