'The Build Back Better Act as passed by the House is not going to be the same when it comes back to the House after the Senate gets its hands on it,' said Rep. Ro Khanna.

The legislation will pass the Senate with amendments but"it's going to be 90 percent" of the version passed by the House, with about 10 percent removed, the California Democrat added.

Provisions that won't be removed include"lowering costs for families, and we're going to make sure we're tackling the climate crisis in a way that's going to create jobs," the Michigan Democrat said on MSNBC'sAmong its major priorities, the legislation includes $555 billion in funding for climate initiatives , child care funding, university pre-K, and extension of health care subsidies.

It will need to clear the so-called"Byrd Bath" process, under which the Senate parliamentarian will determine whether its individual components can fall under the budget process called reconciliation. The parliamentarian has scrapped Democratic attempts to include immigration provisions in previous legislation, so the ones included in the social spending bill may not make the final version.
