'What if the new bill contains ‘ways and means’?

What should happen, or what will happen?

What should happen is the Senate Parliamentarian would strike such provisions, and that would be the end of it. But, because Biden is the President of the Senate, he can unilateral overrule the Senate Parliamentarian.

Since there's no judicial review of Congress with respect to how they apply their own rules, there won't be any legal challenge heard in that regard.

The long and short of it is rules don't apparently apply to Democrats.
