good afternoon, everyone. i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. and today we're watching a tale of two parties heading into different directions. as we speak, democrats are on the verge of landing that huge and hugely unexpected legislative win. the major climate change and health care bill. it passed the senate sunday with the vice president breaking a 50/50 tie. >> at last we have arrived and we are elated. every member of of my caucus is elated about what happened

because we really have changed the world. >> that's on top of the string of some other very big recent wins. among them, major gun safety legislation, a computer chip bill and that veterans burn pit law. for republicans, the biggest buzz isn't on capitol hill. it's coming from cpac in texas and some of the most extreme voices in the party. >> the democratic party just that they were picked in this fraud election. we skipped over socialism to comism is where we're at. >> the joe biden economy has made it hard to families have hot dogs and that's an unacceptable thing. >> we're at war. we are at war. we're at a political and ideological war. >> in the senate every day i represent 30 million texans, and my job it's like the old coliseum where you slam on a plate and grab a battle ax and you fight the barbarians.

>> donald trump was also there delivering the keynote speech saturday to huge applause. and the sunday straw poll show he's still the clear favorite among conservatives for 2024. 69% to ron desantis's 24%. trump has also been trying to flex his campaign muscle on the campaign trial trail. he's endorsed those in arizona, michigan and he's got another chance tomorrow in wisconsin. with businessmen tim michaels running in the republican primary. we'll have later in the show some more on that. we have a whole lot to discuss. capitol hill correspondent ali vitali joins us now. jonathan lemire is bureau chief and matthew doud is an msnbc political analyst. so jonathan, you tweeted out "the new york times" quote, which called it an extraordinarily productive run for a congress better known for paralysis. what cured the paralysis? and is this it now until after

the midterms? >> reporter: this is a huge run of success for this white house and the democratic-controlled congress. let's reflect back to the beginning of the biden administration when he and his team really em based the comparisons to franklin roosevelt and lyndon johnson suggesting that this president was going to have as huge of a consequential term as his. and yet, that didn't happen at least for awhile because there's a key difference. fdr had massive advantages in congress. this president had a 50/50 senate and only a couple seats advantage in the house. but what we have seen here is a remarkable run. some of it done in secret, stunning to even the closest washington observers that deal, but it's not just reck silluation. it's the chip's act. it was the gun reform legislation of a few months ago. the biden administration can say

hay that killed america's most wanted man, the leader of al qaeda. this has been a remarkable run for this president. he himself in covid isolation for some of it, but white house aids quick to point out he still was working of the phones. he called more than a dozen democratic senators over the weekend to close the deal. there is a hope now democrats have a big platform for which to run on in november and that the wind now be at joe biden's back in looking to turn around the slumping poll numbers. >> to that point, before members go home to their districts, what are you hearing? what's the expectation about what all this means for their chances of holding the senate or even the houses this fall? >> reporter: that's the open question. but as members were leaving yesterday, because they worked al night saturday into sunday, they were saying they do feel like they have a new momentum.

several of them saying they feel like when they look back on their time in congress, this is going to be some of the most significant legislation that they have had the opportunity to work on. because of the sweeping pieces that touch economics, that touch health care and cost reduction on drugs and capping the price of insulin, those pieces of legislation that democrats were prioritizing, yes, they will readily admit they didn't get erg they wanted, but no sooner did democrats pass this on sunday than new ads from democratic groups were on the air waves in arizona, georgia and nevada touting the fact that the democrats got this done and it wasn't always a given. you and i covered how many rounds of negotiations on build back better over the course of the last year that watched people like joe manchin and senator sinema continue to whittle down what was going on in this package. ultimately, we see where they landed, about $430 billion in spending and about $300 billion in deficit reduction. it allows democrats to sort of

campaign on both fronts. pro actively saying they were accomplishing policy agenda items while also proactively saying that they were speaking to what is arguably the number one or number two issue for voters is the economy and inflation. republicans are going to try to leverage that as well, but democrats now can say that they have taken steps on that front too. >> we heard just that. you can't afford a hot dog and that's not acceptable. what they are saying a lot of republicans falsely is that this is a big tax increase for the middle class. they are talking about things they are clearly going to take on the campaign trail. i do doubt they will take home the fact they squashed the idea of helping people who need it pay for their insulin, but do they have a message that will work? >> i think that's the 92-day question, which is how many days until election day. if you had looked at this and asked me two months ago, i would have said that democrats were on

the the verge of losing the senate. when you look at the trajectory, even before the win this weekend t already moved to a more like ily hood that democrats would keep the senate and the house is now becoming competitive in this environment. so i actually think with everything thats was said just before me, it not only provides a positives message t provides a great contrast message to republicans. they will talk about inflation. but as gas prices come down and as we see it will see announcement on what inflation is, my expectation is the inflation rate is going to come down primarily driven by gas prices. democrats can argue on one hand we're for competency. they are crazy. and on the other hand, we're standing for the constitution whether that's freedoms like roe v. wade and the other side the gop wants to destroy our democracy. wants to corrupt our democracy in this. so i think it provides a great

argument for democrats to run on this last 92 days and the trajectory was already moving towards them. so i think they are going to feel the wind at their back. the great thing for democrats is they have not only a message that motivates their base, they have a message that persuades independence they need to win this this election. republicans will push back on the economy incident and flags, but it's much less of a resident issue today than it was two months ago. to that contrast the at the same time democrats were celebrating the big legislative wins, donald trump was at cpac. take a listen. >> as we gather tonight, our country is being destroyed more from the inside than out. america is on the edge of an abyss. the streets of our democrat-run cities are trenched with the blood of innocent victims. people are walking outside and getting shot in the head. >> one thing you'll say for him

he's the same donald trump two won the presidency. do republicans really believe it can work again? or just the folks at cpac? >> i would be curious to see what jonathan says on thrks but if you gave republicans truth serum, they would say i wish donald trump would go away. donald trump's important lairty rating is lower than joe biden's. he's hr of an anchor than joe biden's are on democrats and ever poll proves that out. donald trump for some reason cannot look anything but in the rear view mirror. he's looking back at the last election. he's looking back at everything. so i think voters want to vote what's their present, and what is their future look like. so if i were a republican, i would hope donald trump, which he won't do, he would just fade away at least for the next 90 days. but he's not going to. i think every time donald trump shows up to an event like this, it's a benefit to the democrats. >> you do see the lingering impact of what donald trump

brought. the marjorie taylor greene praying a little bit of performance art there to matthew's question. what do you make of it? >> i'm not much into the prediction business, but i can pretty well bet that donald trump is not going fade away over the next 92 days. mathew is right. there are few republicans that want to see him right now play such a visible role. none outside of a few who collect their paychecks at mala ga want him to declare his candidacy. they think that will be a terrible distraction and would distract from what they still think could be a good november because of inflation. the gop strategists are farm less confident about it now than a couple months ago. but trump is not going anywhere. certainly, his poll numbers have taken a hit. largely in part, we believe, because of the january 6th

hearings. but he is still the loudest voice in the room. there aren't many republicans willing to challenge him publicly. ly, they don't want him out there now. they would rather he wait and see where things are. there's some that would like to move on to another candidate. trump seems unlikely to oblige that. the question is when he jumps in the race. >> thank you. joining me now is senator michael bennett of colorado. good to see you. thank you for being on. your party named it the inflation reduction act and against the odds you got it passed. when are people going to feel the impact of this bill? >> they are feeling it already. they were on the phone with my daughter. and the joy in her voice that we had actually finally done something for climate change, that's going to give the generation hope that they

haven't had in a long time that washington is actually trying to help build a little bit of a better world for them. and this bill, which substantially lowers health care costs by capping drug prices, the biggest climate investment in our history, closing tax loopholes on the wealthiest people and the largest corporations and reducing the deficit, that's a very different piece of legislation that would republican majorities bring, which is usually just cutting taxes for the richest people and spending their time putting right wing judges on the courts that are now reversing roe v. wade. so there's a big difference coming out of here. i think my own view is that the democracy is at stake this november. i think we just gave our democracy a huge shot in the arm. >> no surprise to anyone republicans see this very differently. let me play some examples of that.

>> yet another reckless tax and spending spree. democrats have already robbed american families once flu inflation and now the solution is to rob american families yet a second time. >> the american rescue plan, remember that one, that was supposed to make everything better. it became a recession plan. this is going to make everything worse. >> do you have any concerns that this could make people's economic situations worse instead of better? >> i don't. i would say that another piece of good news this week was we had more than 500,000 jobs created in the economy. so i'm not sure what my colleague is talking about. with respect to mitch mcconnell, his position is the most absurd position of all. there's nobody in american history who has put more debt on the balance sheet than mitch mcconnell. but the way he's done it is by cutting taxes for rich people over and over again and saying that somehow that was going to trickle down to the american

people and pay for itself. all lies. and there are things i would have rather tone here that we weren't able to do like reverse the trump tax cuts on the wealthiest americans because 52% of that went to the richest people. i would have loved to made permanent my bill to extend the child tax credit, which cuts poverty in half last year reduce hunger by 25%. we closed some important loopholes. unlike the trump bill, which added $2 trillion to the deficit, this one is reducing our deficit by $300 billion. and i think they can't stand what the facts really are. it's true with the other stuff. think about it. it's not just this bill. it's the bipartisan infrastructure bill. it's the chips bill that's going to bring back manufacturing here to the united states of america. it's the pact act, the bipartisan gun bill and even something that's really

important to rural colorado. that looks triumphant compared to any legislative agenda that mitch mcconnell ever had, which is to say none except kuting taxes for the richest people and then blaming that on democrats. that's not going to work in this election. >> those are the arguments that you and your fellow democrats are going to be able to make on the campaign trail. your republican opponent says you are raising taxes on struggling colorado residents while you have been getting rich. you have increased your wealth by $31 million since you got here. part of his implication is how can you relate to the average person in your state. >> first of all, i wish that were true about my wealth. i don't know where he got those numbers. and i know when my wife and kids see that, they have going to wonder where i have been hiding it. second, this is a guy who literally posted on facebook a ping piture of him and his wife riding their horses to buy sushi.

so i don't know who needs to prove -- who is in touch with working coloraans, but anybody who thinks that the trump tax cuts for the wealthy were somehow a tax cut for working americans is delusional and anybody who thinks that this bill raises taxes on working people is delusional unless your definition for working people are the richest hedge fund managers in america that make more than a billion dollars in income and haven't been paying any taxes. the american people are sick and tired of these folks paying 1.5%, paying 2%. and all this says is you have to pay at least 15%. by the way, that's less than school teachers are paying in the state of colorado. that's a debate i'm happy to have going into this election. i'm looking forward to it because we need to expose the republican rhetoric for the lies that it is. it's done so much damage to this

country. think about 50 years of trickle-down economics and what that has wrought. it's created an economy that's worked well for the top 10%, hasn't worked for anybody else. what this chips bill is a vote for a better future for america. that's what the bill is that we voted on this weekend. the inflation reduction act is about creating a renaissance in energy manufacturing here in the united states of america. that looks a lot better than mitch mcconnell's agenda, i think. >> colorado senator michael bennett, pleasure to have you on the the program. thank you soft. >> thank you for having me. on the heels of that bill and what it means for addressing climate change as senator bennett just said, we're monitoring the president's trip to kentucky this hour. president biden touring the deadly flood devastation in kentucky. his meeting with families and what we can expect to hear from him when he makes remarks there. sdplrvelgts but first, new warnings of a possible serial killer on the loose in new mexico as police and the fbi search for a suspect in a recent

police and the fbi are searching for a suspect in a string of murders leaving new mexico's muslim community on edge fearing there's a serial killer on the loose. four muslim men shot and killed in albuquerque, new mexico, when

a man was murdered hours after attending the funeral of two other victims. police are calling these targeted killings. now say they have a lead on the vehicle of interest. >> if you see a dark-colored sedan voex kuwaitway began, we encourage you to call the police. we urge people not to take things into your own hands. if you see this week or know who might be drive itting, call police. >> for more on this we're joined by the council on american islamic relations. beyond what we just saw, which they are looking for a particular vehicle, what else do we know? what's the latest there? >> reporter: i will add that that vehicle, if anyone has information, they can also upload photos or videos that could lead to -- that could help local authorities. . they set up a website where they can upload these photos that

could help them. now if you see in the photo, there's markings on the rims. they are hoping this it help the public identify the vehicle by pointing out these markings that the rims have. other than that, they have released the name of the last victim. you showed photos of the victims. we know that three of them were originally pakistan. all four of the men killed are members of the muslim community. and if you look at the people in albuquerque, you're talking about roughly half a million people in the city. less than 1% of those are members of the muslim community. so that's why this is worrying those members of that community. it's just horrific to see how these men were shotted shot and killed. the fbi is involved. they are working with local authorities. also they have added more patrol units to schools and to areas frequented by the muslim community here in albuquerque to try and help people feel like they are safe. because as you can imagine, members of the community are

scared with what's happened. one of the family members of the last man that was killed told nbc news that at the funeral of the other two men, they told him to be careful. and now he is the latest vick pim. but as of now, they are asking for the public's help with any information that could lead to the arrest of anyone responsible for this. >> that's almost unbelievable. "new york times" spoke to a man who said he's afraid to step outside his home. and another man who attended the same mosque as all four of the victims say he may never citing a fear of becoming bait. how would you describe the feeling in the muslim community right now? >> obviously, this is a very small, tight knit community. about 5,000 muslims in kwuk. they are on edge. there's a sense of fear and concern for individual safety. one of the things is that it's important to be prepared and

informed and just take precautions, but to not let fear win. when perpetrators of these crimes do these kinds of actions, that's their objective. they want our communities to live in fear. we as a nation cannot let hate and violence win. we must stand united against all forms of high tread and fear cannot win. >> your organization, the council on american islamic relations, is offering a $10,000 reward for information on the killings. this weekend new mexico's governor announced that she sent additional state police officers to albuquerque to work with the police and fbi. from what you have been able to observe, do you think enough is being done right now? >> we definitely want to acknowledge the responsible from local, state, and federal agency who is have been stepping up to provide support to the local muslim community and the local mosques. these kind of circumstances is very important for them to know that they are supported and they are not alone in this. even allies that can reach out

and offer support would be assuring. more needs to be done. the perpetrator of this crime is still at large. until they are brought to justice there's going to be a lot of unanswered questions. right now, there are families who are mourning the loss of their loved ones. as you mentioned, one of the victims was he attended a victim of on friday and a few short hours he became the fourth victim. it's just horrific to know what the community is going through at the moment. but we do acknowledge the response from the governor. her reitself rating the fact that new mexico is home to muslim asks they are welcome there. this is an opportunity for other elected officials at every level of the government to stand strong and lend support to all communities have been marketal liezed. >> thank you. i'm sure we'll continue to get updates. up next, we'll go live to a

66-year-old man health problems. they are arguing for leniency. they are arguing, as was the case with his son, to him to serve some of his time in federal detention instead of state detention. they are concerned about his safety and worried about whether or not he will even survive being in that kind of an environment because of his health concerns. opt the other hand, they are arguing for life in prison and for it to be served in state prison. they see the efforts to try to move to federal prison as them trying to pick their own punishment and the ahmaud arbery family rejects that. some of their impact statements they really focused on the fact that he's a father, and as a father you should have known better and as a human being you should have done better in the situation. the only other extenuating circumstance that's different is

that gregory mcmichael did not pull the trigger. his son did. so there's some difference there. baically, they face the same charges and the expectation is that he will be sentenced to life in prison. >> ron allen, thank you so much for that update. one person is dead, 17 firefighters are missing. more than 120 are injured in cuba after oil tanks struck by lightning exploded. the fire that broke out on friday night is still burning. the original fire spread to a second tank of crude oil setting off several explosions. both mexico and venezuela sent help to fight the flames. the travel miseries piling up. heavy storms cancelled 1 50rkz 0 flight this weekend with at least 1,300 more delayed. >> i just don't understand how this is okay. >> the broken system and people get left having no idea where to go, what to do, no answers. and no compensation. >> the nasty weather a major

himself as a political outside er. he's a construction executive, but he's going up against the former lieutenant governor. clayfish is backed not just by mike pence, but also by the popular form governor scott walker. so when you talk to republican voters, as i have been doing all day, they sound a little stressed about their decision because you have these big republican names weighing in on the primary race. listen to some of those conversations. >> i'm foing to go with trump. that's just my thing. >> you're going with whatever trump suggests. >> yes. >> i don't think the endorsements affect my vote. i think it would be good to have someone leading this state that is not been connected to politics at all in their life. so i think that's why i'm making the vote for michaels. >> reporter: not only is there almost that proxy battle there,

but there are national implications to what happens here. the republican governor, as i mentioned, will go up against tony evers. evers has been vetoing many of the republican election-related bills passed by the legislature here in the state of wisconsin. that's something that both candidates say that they will do. they will pass on any bill that the republican legislature here assigns that restricts election laws that makes it harder to vote so when you talk about a state like wisconsin, a state that president biden won by about 21,000 votes, former president trump won by 27,000 votes, it's a state that election laws truly matter in terms of those national implications sdplp another referendum on the big lie. thank you for that. and today the blowback continues fast and furious after indiana passed the first state ban on abortion post roe. "the washington post" put it this way. as some of the biggest employers objected to the restrictions, democratic leaders strategized

ways to appeal the law and abortion rights activists made plans to arrange alternative locations for women seeking procedures. here's what was said ahead of the vote. >> each one of us legislatorers could be raped. we could have a piece of our soul ripped from us and be violated. but only 23% of us can know what it's like to fear that that horrific moment could create a baby. >> we are told by the republican supermajority that you cannot legislate moral behavior when it comes to gun violence in america. but in a matter of two weeks, we will legislate a way a woman's god-given free will to make her own decisions. >> when i moved to indiana 30 years ago, i did not have access to affordable health care and contraceptive services. as a result, i had an unplanned pregnancy. i ask this body not to continue to ignore the women in this body

and most importantly the minority women in this body who continue to speak knowledge and to this matter. >> for more, we're joined by ann tone antonia hilton. good to have you here. you have been following the backlash to this. both the political and economic. what are you finding out? >> on the political front, what we're going to see now is democrats take what we have seen happen in indiana and draw a contrast to what we just saw happen in kansas. a more traditionally conservative state where voters just rejected this kind of restriction on abortion access. they are going to be highlighting that this kind of legislation is often deeply unpopular. and they are going to be attacking their opponents on it. on the economic front, we're going to see companies like eli lilly coming forward and saying they are concerned about the economic impacts over all of this and their ability to attract and retain employees,

families that would otherwise have been interested in settling and working in indiana. take a major engine manufacturer that just released a very similar statement. we're already seeing the economic fallout. for some, this is too little, too late. take a listen to a conversation we had. >> businesses are coming out and talking about this. they are too late indiana has had really heavy abortion restrictions long before the dobbs decision dropped. now this feels like a little bit not too little too late, but it's not enough. >> keep in mind, lawmakers and business owners in the state have already been feeling like indiana has been at the forefront of the national conversation. and that's coming on the heels of this story of a 10-year-old who was raped in ohio and had to travel to the state to access abortion care. it's really raised the stakes

for people for what we may see happen in indiana going forward. and not only that, but we're going to see people on the side of pro abortion access. they are going to be trying to figure out their avenues politically and legally had, but even for folks who are antiabortion, they don't think this legislation went far enough. they want to fight for more. >> so let's talk about the politics of this. your group was founded on the frustration, even anger of suburban women against donald trump. and for a lot of them, the fight was exhausting. you and i talked about the fact that some of them had to step away for awhile because they were so exhausted. has the abortion issue reenergized that critical voting bloc? >> there's no question about it. this was never just about trump. this is about extreism and suburb women don't like it. whether it's these tall abortion bans, book bans, aring teachesers, the suburban women i know are not even seeing this as a partisan election anymore.

it's about chaos vs. common sense. it's about extremism vs. just being a mainstream mom. so we're going to see the consequences of what is happening across this country to be huge in november. in kansas, the people had a chance to speak. in indiana, the legislature seeing what the people would say if they let the people speak, they said we're not going to let them. we're going to mandate and force this all-out abortion ban on the people. it's only making women madder. and it's so deeply personal i'm so glad you played the clips of those legislators, those women torts in indiana speaking to this issue. it's so deeply personal. this is a visceral issue. it impacts all of us personally. our daughters, our children, everyone in our lives. and we're speaking up in personal ways and talking to our

friends about it. we're talking to aur networks. and yeah, there might have been some exhaustion after trump, but we know that for the sake of our kids and our communities, we got to set that aside and you saw that energy come out in kansas and you're going to see it come out all across this country as republicans just become more and more chaotic and more and more extreme. >> we don't have a lot of time, but i want to ask about the second part of this, which is that suburban wum have a lot of economic impact as well. a lot of them control a lot of money that gets spent. are we going to see them use that? are they paying attention to the corporations that are taking action depending on what's happening in their individual state legislatures? >> it's so interesting to me. poiticians in indiana seem to think that they can get away with ignoring the people women voters just fine. corporations know they can't. we are their customers. and you're right about the purchasing power of surken women. we control the household budget.

and that is going hit their bottom line. so they are very aware that we're making those decisions and acting accordingly. and yeah, we're paying attention. just like the governor of indiana tried to sign this abortion been in the dead of night, in the middle of august, hoping no one would notice. guess what, we noticed. corporations know we're watching too. so eli lily, let's see more of it. let's see companies recognize and show that you're listening to us and that you don't want to loose ugs as customers. republicans will lose us as voters. >> thank you both very much. what we expect to hear from president biden in just about 15 minutes or so as he tours the devastation left behind from those deadly floods in kentucky. what more can the white house do for those affected? that's next. that's next.

prison plus ten years. minutes from now the president and first lady will meet with families devastated from the flooding in kentucky. i want to bring in kathy park, who is in lost creek, kentucky for us and also bring in host of "way too early" here on msnbc. kathy, tell us what's happening right now. >> reporter: hey, chris. good afternoon to you. the president just moments ago had an opportunity to see the damage firsthand. his initial expression was that of shock. everywhere you turn you see homes that have been leveled. some of them completely lifted off their foundation and the floodwaters were so intense, it even pulled some of these large vehicles, cars, away from the

original location. so it certainly is a long road to recovery. officials are saying the death toll is at 37. two people are unaccounted for but there has been so much damage to the infrastructure in this community, thousands of people are still without water. the power is slowly coming back on so the power outage numbers are a lot lower than what we saw several days ago but tens of thousands of residents are still under a boil water advisory. but, chris, i have to say, you know, being out here for several hours now, there is a lot of positivity, all things considered. they are still very resilient in the face of this natural disaster. we have seen volunteers coming together, but it is starting to warm up. things are starting to dry out. it certainly is a muddy mess that has been left behind by the floodwaters. so it is certainly making the clean-up efforts even that much more difficult. you might have heard forecasters are expecting even more severe

weather in the forecast over the next couple of days, which could only complicate the recovery efforts, chris. >> it's almost cruel, jonathan, to think about that. you've already got more than three dozen lives lost, the worst flooding in the state's history. what would you expect to hear from the president in just a little bit? >> well, already the president has vowed to put the full force of the federal government behind the recovery and rebuilding efforts. he said they would do everything the white house could do under the scope of the law and if we need to, we'll change some laws. that might be little biden hyperbole but this is something where the white house has broad authority to cut through red tape and fund rebuilding efforts. and what we're going to see now is a hat that joe biden has to wear sadly quite a bit, which is comforter in chief, consoler in chief. he will meet the families of those impacted, those who lost loved ones or lost their homes, who may still be wondering where

their loved ones are, if they're still in the missing. and president biden speaks to grief like few others we've ever had in public life, in part because of the losses he has suffered in his own life. i've been on a number of these trips with him over the years, these disaster sites or mass shootings and he hits the same note. he'll tell people though anguish is what they feel now, someday, slowly things will get better and the memory of their loved one will bring a smile to their face instead of a tear to their eye. he'll make sure the people there in kentucky know that the federal government has not forgotten with them. >> and the democratic governor was elected by a thin margin. often these kind of events become political. you want to focus on the humanity of it, the lives that are lost, the rebuilding that needs to be done but there is a

political component to this. >> certainly. sometimes political figures pay a price. certainly here kentuckians, let's hope that there isn't a political price to pay for the democratic governor there who will be with the president of his own party who are trying to focus simply on rebuilding on helping. the governor has been very quick to praise president biden and the full force of the federal government. we should also note so has senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, also a kentucky resident. for now politics have stayed out of this one. >> that's going to do it for us this hour. make sure to join us for "chris jansing reports" every week bay at 1:00:00.

good to be with you. i'm katy tur. historic after a mammoth weekend in the senate, joe biden's inflation reduction act is now on the verge of passing. once it goes through the house, president biden is set to be one of the most legislatively successful presidents of the modern era. for the 26th time since taking office, kamala harris, the vice president, used her tie-breaking vote in the senate to advance the legislation. the bill promises to inject more than $370 million into climate and energy programs. it will also allow medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time and raise revenue to a 15% minimum tax on large corporations. democrats are heading into the august recess on a high after a year of failed negotiations and party in fighting, we saw a major shift this summer. the
