As Joe Biden heads to a key climate summit, his green credentials are being undermined by two US senators.

Joe Biden heads to Glasgow in the coming days for a crucial climate summit at which he hopes to cajole international partners into era-defining commitments to reduce carbon emissions. But two senators could undermine his green credentials at the worst possible time.

The rugged 74-year-old man from the mountains of West Virginia and the 45-year-old iconoclastic woman from the deserts of Arizona. Manchin, hailing from a rural state with only 1.8 million people and a fraction of a percent of the total US gross domestic product, was the one calling the shots. Sinema started her career in politics as an activist in the Green Party, before she began a steady climb up through Arizona elective office.

McCain's maverick persona - along with his war-hero record - helped him become an institution in Arizona and ultimately win the Republican presidential nomination in 2008.

... and 50 other Senators.

Two people harming 320 million. What they win out of this?

I believe this is an unfair headline. What they are blocking is wrecked spending on stuff that has nothing to do with a climate agenda.

These two senator have been bought with Republican money I really don’t think there is any doubt! Their actions are going to deliver the house and senate back to the Republicans in 2022. And there is really nothing we can do! Just more and more and more Republican dirty politics

No winter?! Good!

As usual, you’ve misrepresented what’s really going on...Truth is that Biden’s a “busted flush”...Much like Doris Johnson...

gop's democrats

Every American Democrat should be profoundly ashamed to know that these two are members of their party…the world is burning and all they seem care about is their own personal financial benefit.

ridiculous

Gross

They’re totally going on for a kiss.

Biden taps GOP official who rejected Trump’s fraud claims for election security roleBiden could tap Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman to lead the department of homeland security’s outreach to state election officials There weren’t any dead voters voting, nor were there people voting in multiple states, nor were there non-matching signatures, nor was there ballot harvesting, nor were there pristine unfolded mail in ballots, nor were there discrepancies between number of votes and total votes.

Is Biden’s entire agenda about to shrink into nothingness? | Robert ReichEvery senate Republican and at least two senate Democrats continue to assert that Biden’s agenda is too costly. That’s nonsense check with us too “Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, is proposing a “Billionaires Income Tax,” to be paid by the roughly 750 Americans with $1 billion in assets or $100 million in income for three consecutive years.” No. 3.5T was the top line ask and that was never going to pass. It’s the final number somewhere in the middle that will pass and it will have help for the American people as opposed to Wall Street. Then we can do more later.
