A massive climate, healthcare care and tax bill cleared its final hurdle on Friday, as the House passed the legislation on a party line vote, sending it to President Joe Biden to sign.Democratic members in the chamber cheered as the bill cleared the 218 vote threshold for a majority to pass, and then loudly cheered and clapped when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the tally.
The final vote was 220-207.The Inflation Reduction Act includes $369 billion for energy and climate programs over the next decade, including tax credits for the purchase of electric vehicles and other credits for home solar energy.The bill also includes $64 billion to extend Affordable Care Act benefits, and $4 billion to address the drought in western states.
