The House passed the stimulus package in a 363-40 vote early Saturday morning. The legislation, which is intended to blunt the economic impacts of the coronavirus outbreak, includes provisions for paid sick or family leave and unemployment insurance. It also guarantees that all Americans can get free diagnostic testing for the illness.

The vote came after hours of speculation over whether Trump would support the bill.

However, the bill’s passage in the House by such a large margin suggests that the legislation should pass through the Senate next week.

Trump and Pelosi struck a deal on the coronavirus response package after the president on Friday afternoon declared a national emergency over the spreading virus, opening up billions of dollars in federal disaster relief money to respond to the crisis.

The president on Saturday also touted the previous day's stock market rally, with stocks posting their biggest one-day gain since 2008, ending a crushing week of losses.
