What's in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill?

Washington – House Democrats have taken President Biden's first-term domestic policy priorities and dropped them into one big 2,465-page bill that aims to expand the nation's social safety net and combat climate change. 

Because the $3.5 trillion bill is opposed by Republicans, Democrats are trying to enact it through a budgetary process called reconciliation, solely with Democratic support. But this would require a "yes" vote from every Senate Democrat, and two of them, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, say they won't support it unless the price comes down. Manchin issued a statement Wednesday night reiterating his desire for a strategic "pause" on the legislation, insisting the country shouldn't be spending trillions of dollars now.
