People think Joe Biden bumped up his stimulus bill signing because of this ‘DocuSign’ tweet

The White House was bullied into entering the 21st Century.

Today, Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Package into law. Qualified citizens could see stimulus checks of up to $1,400 as early as the weekend.

The bill passed in the House on Wednesday, and Biden was originally set to sign it on Friday.

Why did he bump it up? Perhaps because someone on Twitter asked why Biden couldn’t speed things up, getting money to people faster, by using everyone’s favorite PDF signing tool.

“Why Biden gotta wait til Friday to sign that hoe? They ain’t got DocuSign?” @DREUXSUACCE tweeted on Wednesday, racking up over 200,000 likes.

Now, people assume his staff saw that viral tweet.

The Washington Post reports that Biden signed it because Congress delivered the bill to him quicker than expected.

Or perhaps Biden has known how to open PDF all along.
