Manchin Destroys Pelosi’s Chessboard – Slams “Budget Gimmicks” And “Shell Games” To Force Through Economic Package
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) dispelled any rumors that he’s ‘on board’ with Democrats’ Build Back Better Act, despite its new $1.75 trillion topline set by the White House (down from $3.5 trillion).
On Monday, Manchin held a seven-minute press conference to set the record straight. The key takeaway is this; nothing is happening on the reconciliation bill until the bipartisan infrastructure bill is passed by the House, and more clarity is provided in general.
