And in spending nearly $370 billion to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change, it goes most of the way to reaching Biden's ambitious plans to create a clean energy economy.
Democrats spent months negotiating with themselves, as moderate senators like West Virginia's Joe Manchin and Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema extracted concessions that progressives had little choice but to accept to save the bill.
But in recent weeks, saddled by plunging approval ratings, he let the Senate work its will and accepted a final result that fell far short of his original aspirations for a Franklin Roosevelt-style transformation.
The party and the White House also say the bill could have a massive human impact by helping elderly Americans struggling to pay for certain vital medicines and create real quality of life improvements for millions.
Coal state senator Manchin revived the measure after reversing his opposition late last month and agreeing to a clean energy push in return for concessions on fossil fuels.
