President Joe Biden addressed the nation Thursday night in his first effort to explain and build support for the American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion-dollar legislation that he signed yesterday. 

We turn now to Sen. Chris Van Hollen, Maryland's Democratic junior senator, for his reactions to the President’s speech, and his perspectives on how this new funding will affect Marylanders and Maryland businesses. 

Sen. Van Hollen joins us on Zoom.
