Nancy Pelosi Dismisses GOP Criticism of Stimulus, Cites 'Bipartisan' Support Across U.S.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi celebrated the passage of Congress' latest coronavirus relief package on Sunday, disregarding Republican lawmakers' unanimous opposition to the legislation.

The Democratic congresswoman, who represents California's 12th district, called the stimulus package "transformative" and noted that its implementation earned support from voters across political parties during a morning appearance on ABC News' This Week.

"The fact is that it's strongly bipartisan across the country. It's only the Congress of the United States where the Republicans have refused to meet the needs of the American people," Pelosi told moderator George Stephanopoulos of the American Rescue Plan Act, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill that President Joe Biden signed into law on Thursday.

Despite all Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate voting against its passage, polling data released last week indicated that 75 percent of American voters—including nearly 60 percent who identified with the GOP—supported the bill.
