"No bill is perfect. However, compromise, commonsense, and rising above partisan politics to make meaningful and balanced change is our duty as legislators. I look forward to voting for this bill and President Biden signing the Inflation Reduction Act into law," he later added.

Cuellar, who is running for re-election in a district considered a "toss-up" by analysts in this year's midterm elections, had stayed quiet on the bill after its passage in the Senate over the weekend, raising questions over whether it would garner enough support to pass through the Democrat-controlled House.
