Mar-a-Lago raid, primary elections: all the news you missed this week in Washington
- The House passed the Inflation Reduction Act, sending it to President Joe Biden.
- National gas prices fell below $4 per gallon. Biden signed the PACT Act and toured Kentucky floods.
- Rep. Ilhan Omar barely won her primary. Trump pleaded the Fifth in a deposition.
“This week has been monumental.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s statement – given to reporters ahead of voting to pass the Inflation Reduction Act – feels like an understatement.
Between the FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, passage and signature of landmark legislation to solidify Biden’s domestic agenda, and primary elections in four states, this week was jam-packed for Washington.
