WILMINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday he will ask the US Congress to pass another COVID-19 relief bill after taking office in January.

“Congress did its job this week. And I can and I must ask them to do it again next year,” Biden said in a pre-holiday address to the American people.

Biden was speaking a day after lawmakers approved a $900 billion relief package that will provide a long-sought boost for millions of Americans and businesses battered by the pandemic.
