President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act – the $1.9 trillion spending bill – was just passed by the House and now makes its way to the Senate for the ultimate test: party unity.
“The House has taken an important step to advance Build Back Better to cut middle-class taxes; invest in child care; universal pre-K; affordable housing; lower Rx costs; fight climate change; create jobs; more,” Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted after the House passage.
Schumer added, “We will act as quickly as possible to get this bill to [Biden’s] desk” and that they would take it up “as soon as the necessary technical and procedural work with the Senate Parliamentarian has been completed.”
