It was choose-your-midterm-adventure day on Tuesday at the White House and on Capitol Hill.
President Joe Biden gathered with scores of Democratic members of Congress and thousands of invited advocates to tout the sweeping environment, health and tax law that is intended to help bring down costs and mitigate the effects of inflation. Hours earlier, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., put the focus on abortion policy by formally unveiling an updated proposal that would restrict access to abortion after 15 weeks.
“This couldn’t have happened without every single one of you, and that’s in the literal sense in the Senate, every single one was required because the other team didn’t want to play,” Biden said on the South Lawn. The president called the law “the single most important legislation passed in the Congress to combat inflation, and one of the most significant laws in our nation’s history, in my view.”
