The Hill: Reports " Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) refusal to support the centerpiece of President Biden’s climate agenda puts the Democrats’ entire infrastructure and social spending agenda at risk. "
Lets Get Real:
POTUS was elected on the argument that he could get things done on the Hill, to say that he has not be stellar would be an understatement , he was in the Senate for decades, one would think that he would have developed relationships and friendships that would have gotten his domestic agenda through. Thus far he is no FDR or LBJ or even Reagan on the Republican side. There must be something that Manchin wants, or at least needs. If the Senator at his core does not agree with the Bill, then he should just say so, otherwise these talks are going nowhere fast. The Republicans must be laughing their backsides off, there is nothing more fun than watching Democrats taking political shots at each other, either the Democrats can govern or they will be out in the 2022 Mid Terms. If that happens Biden will not run in 2024, there will be no base to support him running from the White House bunker.
