WASHINGTON — In legacy mode, outgoing President Joe Biden’s White House is warning the Republicans who are about to take power against repealing his biggest achievements.
“Repealing President Biden’s signature laws would be an historic redistribution of wealth from working Americans to Big Pharma and China,” Andrew Bates, a senior White House spokesperson, writes in the subject line of a new memo being circulated to interested parties and allies, which was first obtained by NBC News.
The memo makes an economic and political case against undoing Biden era laws that President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans have put on the chopping block in major party-line legislation that they’re eyeing for next year, most notably the clean energy and health care provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act.
“Depriving the American people of these benefits would be a gut-punch to our economic growth,” the memo says, and “would provoke a tidal wave of opposition from the American people.” It serves as a mix of messaging advice for Democrats and a preview of the fight to come next year as Trump and a GOP-controlled Congress seek to use the budget “reconciliation” process to advance key parts of Trump’s agenda on party lines.
