The Senate late on Aug. 6 began holding a “vote-a-rama” on a spending bill that would authorize some $430 billion in new federal spending to fulfill key elements of President Joe Biden’s agenda on climate, energy, taxes, and health care.

The legislation, dubbed the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,” has been pushed by Senate Democrats and unanimously opposed by Senate Republicans.
