Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in, only to be beaten by Trump. As Democrats try to recover, Biden, suffering from cancer, aims to protect what remains of his legacy. This Washington Examiner series “Dropout” looks at what happened on that day, the aftermath for Biden, and how Harris’s future is up in the air. Part 4 covers the fate of Biden’s signature legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act.
President Joe Biden‘s landmark climate law, legislation meant to shape his legacy, has been significantly undone and revamped by the President Donald Trump and Republicans, just one year after Biden’s exit from politics.
