The U.S. Senate just passed The Inflation Reduction Act on Sunday – a landmark win for U.S. President Joe Biden, but it was an uphill battle to get all Democratic Senators on board.
The 430-billion-dollar bill will tackle climate change, lower drug costs for Americans and impose a 15 percent minimum tax on corporations earning profits of more a billion dollars a year. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is teasing another possible presidential bid. What does this mean for the upcoming midterm elections? And will we see a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024?
Joining the discussion:
- Spencer Critchley is a Democratic Strategist and Author of “Patriots of Two Nations.”
- Rina Shah is a Political Analyst and Current Affairs Commentator.
- Bruce Fein is a Constitutional Lawyer.
- Melik Abdul is a Republican strategist.
