Politics Podcast: What The Two Parties Should Be Thankful For
FiveThirtyEight
 

On Friday, the House narrowly passed the Build Back Better Act, which if enacted into law would allocate approximately $2 trillion to tackle the social safety net, health care and climate change over the next 10 years. In this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, the crew discusses what the future of the bill might look like in the Senate and why the provisions in the bill are more popular than the bill itself. They also check in on where the redistricting process stands around the country and ask what the two parties should be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
