WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden plans to sign the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief legislation on Thursday, the White House said, a day earlier than originally planned.

The signing will come hours before the Democratic president gives a prime-time speech marking the one-year anniversary of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. Biden initially said he would sign the legislation on Friday.
