He had been set to sign the American Rescue Plan on Friday, but the White House moved the signing up to Thursday afternoon, hours before the president plans to deliver his first prime-time address to the American public on the one-year anniversary of the pandemic.

Chief of staff Ron Klain tweets that the bill arrived at the White House late Wednesday, more quickly than anticipated.

Klain says, “We want to move as fast as possible.”
