President Joe Biden plans to sign the Democrats' massive climate, health and tax bill into law on Tuesday at the White House, marking a major accomplishment for his domestic agenda less than three months before midterm elections.
Biden will deliver remarks and sign the bill, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, at an event in the White House's State Dining Room, the White House announced Monday.
It will likely be a smaller ceremony, with most members of Congress involved in the bill's passage out of town, with Congress out of session.
Taking advantage of some political momentum, Biden is interrupting his vacation in South Carolina for the signing, just days after the House approved the measure, following Senate passage by just one vote amid some political drama.
A larger celebration is being planned for Sept. 6.

The White House said. there are about 3.3 million Americans on Medicare who use insulin, who will benefit from the new $35 monthly price cap.
The White House also estimates about 5-7 million Americans could see their prescription drug costs decrease once Medicare begins negotiating costs.
Lower Obamacare premiums will be extended for the 13 million Americans insured under that program, the White House said.
