House bill requiring Biden to provide inflation estimates passes with large Democrat support

The House on Wednesday passed an inflation transparency act introduced by New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik with the support of 59 Democrats. 

The bill would require the president to publish the inflationary impact of executive orders before they are enacted in response to President Joe Biden's policies, said Stefanik, the bill sponsor. 

"As every hardworking family is forced to pay more for almost everything due to Bidenflation, I am proud to pass my bill, the REIN IN Inflation Act, to hold the Biden Administration accountable for their reckless spending causing prices to skyrocket," she said.

The bill passed 272-148, with 144 nay votes coming from Democrats and 4 coming from Republicans, according to the House clerk.

The Republican "No" votes came from conservative Reps. Andy Biggs, Bob Good, Matt Rosendale and Chip Roy.
