With the House of Representatives poised to approve Democrats’ signature climate, health care and tax legislation, the White House is preparing a massive messaging blitz to accompany the expected passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Their hope is to make the case for Democrats to remain in full control of both the House and Senate.
On Friday, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on party lines to approve the budget package. The package contains a laundry list of long-held Democratic priorities, including a 15 per cent corporate minimum tax, $433 billion in new spending on programs to fight climate change and an extension of health care subsidies for Americans who purchase insurance through Affordable Care Act exchanges, and an end to the 2003 law which banned Medicare from negotiating the cost of prescription drugs for seniors.
