President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law on Tuesday, saying "the American people won and the special interests lost" with the new legislation and touting Democratic support while slamming Republicans for not backing the bill.
The president returned to the White House after a week-long vacation in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Biden was joined by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer during an event in the State Dining Room at the White House.
"With this law, the American people won and the special interests lost," Biden said Tuesday. "This administration began amid a dark time in America… a once in a century pandemic, devastating joblessness, clear and present threats to democracy and the rule of law, doubts about America's future itself--and yet we've not wavered, we've not flinched, and we've not given in."
Biden said, instead, the law will "deliver results for the American people."
