Biden BFD
Joe Biden has defied expectations, earning a legacy as a president who got big things done with a deeply divided Congress.
The big question for Democrats: Can the same man whose dismal approval ratings have dragged them down all year now rescue their House and Senate majorities?
Driving the news: The Inflation Reduction Act is expected to clear the House later this week on a glide path to President Biden's signature.
"I ran for president promising to make government work for working families again, and that is what this bill does — period," President Biden said after Sunday's Senate passage.
Why it matters: It will join a list of hard-fought legislation shaping the U.S. economy, society and foreign policy for decades to come:
The American Rescue Plan (COVID stimulus)
The Infrastructure and Jobs Act
Confirmation of the first Black female Supreme Court justice
Gun safety legislation
CHIPS (semiconductor manufacturing and U.S. competitiveness with China)
NATO expansion to include Finland and Sweden
Veterans' health care expansion
