Democrats are celebrating the passage of a gargantuan $740 billion spending bill – but as some highlight the alleged savings it'll provide for Americans facing crippling inflation and others hail it as a historic climate bill, it's not entirely clear party members are on the same page about what they just voted for.
The 755-page bill, a scaled-back version of the failed Build Back Better Act, was passed along party lines in the upper chamber with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote. It's expected to come before the House for a vote this week and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has already indicated her support for the sweeping legislation.
