marathon vote-a-rama. kirsten sinema pushed for a change to the bills tax provisions, concerned over the how the corporate tax hikes would affect subsidiaries of private equity firms. in the end, that was just a speed bump for democrats, who came up with work around. they kept the party together to pass the historic legislation the inflation production act will now head to the house where it is scheduled for a final vote, this coming week. joining me now, democratic congresswoman judy chu of california, she s the chairwoman of the congressional asian pacific american caucus. thanks for joining us. let s start with the big news of the day. i guess it started yesterday, but into today. your reaction to the senate passing this bill, and i guess more importantly, do you expect any complications, hiccups, whatever when it comes to the house next week? where this week? i m just so thrilled that it passed, we ve gone through ups
drop, you know, anything about trump and democracy because you actually have achievements that you can use. well, yes and no, it depends. this obviously gives them substantive legislative accomplishments to run on which is important. you see poll after poll, the american people, on both sides of the aisle, just want congress to do something. they feel as though there s gridlock, nothing is getting done, that is frustrating to voters. when you see a number of legislative accomplishments like the ones we have seen over the last week, that is a great indicator to the voter that look, see, we are capable of getting something done, so keep us in office. this is what we can do for you, republicans were outsmarted on this and i agree with marie teresa about this, the inflation production act is a great name, and i think they took a page out of the republican book, the ability to easily message something, because it is difficult to prove a negative. whether it reduces inflation or
