Some Democrats told CNN their vote on the climate bill was personal, with their children and grandchildren's futures forefront on their minds.
Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey still remembers the raw anger he felt after the 2009 climate bill bearing his name failed to advance in a Democrat-controlled Senate.

In a 50-50 Senate and more than a decade later, Markey and the rest of his Democratic colleagues voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act -- by far the largest climate investment in US history.
