The United States Senate has officially passed a new $430 billion bill that is intended to help fight climate change and lower drug prices across the United States.
This is a major victory for President Joe Biden and the Democrats, who hope it will aid their chances of keeping control of Congress in this year’s upcoming election.
After a nearly 27-hour weekend session of debate and Republican efforts to derail the package, the U.S senate finally approved the legislation known as the inflation reduction act by a 51-50 party-line vote.
President Biden is urging the house to act as soon as possible and said he is looking forward to signing the bill into law.
