More than $50 billion to subsidize computer chip manufacturing and research. A bill that would enshrine protection for same-sex marriage. After a turbulent stretch in which much of President Biden’s legislative agenda seemed to be foundering, the president and his party may be on the cusp of significant wins in Congress that the White House hopes will provide at least a modest political boost.

Pete Buttigieg urges Republicans to back same-sex marriage bill By Martin Pengelly the Guardian July 26, 2022 The US transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has delivered an emotional appeal for Republicans to support a law protecting same-sex marriage as it heads for the Senate.
