\u201cMy instinct is that these don\u2019t add up to transformative matters on the scale of Social Security, Securities Exchange Act, Federal Housing Administration, Civil Rights Act of \u201964,\u201d said David M.

\n How Times reporters cover politics.<\/strong><\/span>
\n We rely on our journalists to be independent observers. So while Times staff members may vote, they are not allowed to endorse or campaign for candidates or political causes. This includes participating in marches or rallies in support of a movement or giving money to, or raising money for, any political candidate or election cause.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re just not in that league,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kennedy noted that Mr. Roosevelt had a wide majority in Congress, while Mr. Biden\u2019s party is barely in control \u2014 and with deep disagreements internally.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s Democratic Party is far more fractionated with all kinds of divisions,\u201d Mr. Kennedy said. \u201cIt\u2019s proving very, very difficult to get that body of Democrats in both chambers to legislate coherently.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe package is much smaller, more modest and that was to be expected,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr. Biden\u2019s achievements \u2014 even shrunken in the eyes of some \u2014 may also prove to be his legislative high-water mark. After the final votes were tallied, Mr. Biden made a video call to his longtime adviser, Steve Ricchetti, to congratulate a couple dozen staffers in the Roosevelt Room.<\/p>\n

The president, who is vacationing in South Carolina, told them they had changed the world and made a difference for American families, according to an administration official.<\/p>\n

But even as the White House celebrated the legislation on Friday, the final deal was largely inked by Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, and two centrist Democrats who were holdouts, Senators Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. In an emailed statement, Mr. Manchin\u2019s office on Friday pointedly took credit for the legislative win, heralding the House passage of \u201cManchin\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
