Congressional Republicans are making the case for key provisions of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion relief bill — after voting against it.

Not a single Republican in Congress voted for President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. But many have since highlighted the importance of its programs.

In addition to providing $1,400 relief checks for most Americans and expanding unemployment benefits for those who lost their jobs due to COVID-19 pandemic, the law includes a significant investment in supporting state and local governments, helping keep restaurants in business, and funding health centers.

The legislation provided $350 billion in direct aid to cash-strapped state, local, territorial and tribal governments. It offered $28.6 billion in Small Business Administration grants through a Restaurant Revitalization Fund designed to offset pandemic-related revenue loss. And it provided $8.5 billion to rural health care providers; $70 billion for coronavirus testing, vaccination, and safety; and about $9.1 billion to support the public health workforce.
