Manchin Not Budging On Biden’s $3.5T Spending Plan

September 12, 2021 Democrats, Government

Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), a key moderate Democrat, said on Sunday that he can’t support President Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending plan. “We don’t have the need to rush into this and get it done within one week because there’s some deadline we’re meeting or someone’s going to fall through the cracks,” Manchin said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Manchin also said he would look at adjusting the tax code first if he were writing the bill from scratch.
