Zero republicans voted for the relief bill.
May 27, 2021
While discussing the effects of his jobs plan and economic recovery efforts, President Biden showed a list of Republicans who celebrated legislation passed for Covid-19 relief packages that they did not vote for. "If you're going to try to take credit on what you've done," he said, "don't get in the way of what we still need to do."

Biden read off how various Republicans have touted the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which provides funding for small businesses hurting from the pandemic, as well as grants to community health centers that were included in the rescue plan.
Reps. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), Greg Pence (Ind.), Beth Van Duyne (Texas) and Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.) are among the GOP lawmakers who have promoted the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, despite having voted against the bill that authorized money for the program.
