The Hill: Reports " Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday demanded that the House immediately take up the Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill while making it clear he's not yet ready to support a separate social and climate spending bill. "
Lets Get Real:
Someone somewhere on the Hill is smoking a joint, if you read the Guardian Blog, the Biden White House is sure that Manchin will vote for the social agenda, the leaders of the liberals seems to have taken it for granted that Manchin will vote for the social agenda. If you read the remarks by the Senator one gets the impression that he is not keen on the whole social agenda, and if he votes NO its over, or if moves Party its over for the Democrats. It could be that the liberals have been watching to much CNN or either the White House is lying to themselves and playing the liberals or Manchin is lying to the press. If I was a real liberal I would want to hear that Manchin is supporting the social agenda, otherwise the President and Manchin get the infrastructure bill and the Senator can walk away from the social agenda, as it is not that popular in his State. It will be interesting to see the liberal media play this, win or loss for Biden.
