- During this campaign season, Democrats expect to push many legislative initiatives through the 50-50 chamber, including votes next week on a top-tier proposal limiting pharmaceutical pricing and extending federal subsidies for health insurance.
- Democrats have gained control of the chamber thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote. Lawmakers are set to hold a final vote on a bipartisan bill to enhance semiconductor output.

Quick Glance: Manchin blasts Biden for failing to halt record inflation
- Manchin slammed increased federal spending as the White House seeks to resurrect a failed social and climate plan in the Senate.

- "I believe it's transitory, but I don't mean to suggest these pressures will disappear in the next month or two," Yellen said last October on CBS Evening News.

businessinsider.com/joe-manchin-hires-natural-gas-lobbyist-cj-osman-climate-change-2022-3
Quick Glance: Joe Manchin takes aim at Biden's rich tax, perhaps dooming it
- The proposal would impose a 20% minimum tax rate on households worth $100 million or more, as well as broaden the definition of taxable income to include the accumulated value of unsold investments such as stocks or bonds, sometimes known as unrealized capital gains.
- These are frequently taxed at a much lower rate than income — and only after they have been sold for a profit.
- Some billionaires, such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk, would have to pay significantly more in federal taxes under Biden's proposal.
- Last fall, Manchin expressed opposition to Wyden's similar tax proposal aimed at billionaires.
