Senate passes Dems' $3.5T budget resolution in latest win for President Biden.
WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a sweeping Democratic budget resolution along party lines early Wednesday that would make it possible to expand Medicare, education and environmental measures largely through higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations.
Under special rules for considering budget measures, the Senate was able to adopt the plan with a simple majority vote, circumventing a filibuster, advancing a blueprint for various committees to follow in writing their parts of the funding legislation.Senators voted on 47 nonbinding amendments during the process, adopting some sponsored by Republicans. Among them were an amendment offered by freshman Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala.
Democrats said earlier this week that the legislative package they plan to write would fund programs to provide aid to families, combat climate change and expand health care and education programs. Democrats are planning to include language that would establish universal Pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, make community college tuition-free for two years, provide green cards to millions of immigrant workers and families, and reduce prescription drug costs, among other things.
