Joe Manchin slams the brakes on Biden's agenda again, wants 'greater clarity' on how $1.75 trillion in spending would impact debt
Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has again slammed the brakes on President Joe Biden's $1.75 trillion Build Back Better plan, saying that he wants "greater clarity" about the plan's impact on the economy.
"I will not support the reconciliation legislation without knowing how the bill would impact our debt and our economy in our country," the key centrist Democrat said at a press conference Monday.
Manchin, who has repeatedly stalled passage of Biden's agenda, along with fellow centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, said, "We won't know that until we work through the text."
