Washington (CNN) The House is scheduled to vote Tuesday on the Senate version of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill, a timeline that could see the sweeping legislation signed into law early this week. On Monday evening, the House will vote on the terms for the bill's consideration, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said in a statement, and the chamber will vote to approve the changes made in the Senate the following day. That vote is expected to succeed on a party line, as it did in the Senate, with a narrow Democratic majority. Biden hailed the Senate passage in remarks from the White House Saturday afternoon, touting his plan's widespread public support even if it didn't earn any Republican votes. But even as the legislation nears completion, top Biden advisers are warning White House staff there is no room for complacency moving forward.
