After following the West Virginia Democrat’s every utterance on President Joe Biden’s sweeping climate and social spending plan, some Senate Democrats say their party should put the bill on the floor as soon as possible, regardless of whether Manchin gives a public commitment to support it beforehand. That could risk sinking the bill on the floor.
“My experience in this business is you have to bring it to a vote to finally see where you are. All this speculation notwithstanding, people have to face the reality of yes or no,” said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin . Manchin’s had “more than enough time … there comes a point where the American people expect a result.”
"We heard that it had to pass as soon as we came back from the August break and then we had to do it before the president went over[seas],” Manchin said. “I've heard all these time tables.” Sen.

“What happens if it goes down? We can walk around and say we tried? That doesn’t really sell,” added Sen. Jon Tester . “There have to be conversations with Joe to make sure you’re not moving into a failure situation.” “There’s nothing magic about it,” Kaine said, adding that he wants to pass the legislation “sufficiently in advance of Jan. 15” to ensure individuals don’t see a pause in the child tax credit benefit, which technically expires at the end of the year.
Is he a centrist, or dixiecrat?
Riverboat Joe has his orders from Fla: Stall slash more from Bill to reduce any impact on the rich. let the working stiffs pay the bill. Stop by Money Lago on Christmas for your check Joe, you have done a great job for me.
The West Virginia “what”?
A Centrist? Really?
Centrist ?! Center of West Virginia, maybe.
WE NEED THIS BILL TO SURVIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT HAS REWARDED THE RICH . The COLA increase in Social Security is used to pay the huge increase in Medicare premiums.Majority of seniors are struggling to rise above the poverty level. WE need all the help we can get!
Is Manchin just a slow reader🤯
'We heard that it had to pass as soon as we came back from the August break and then we had to do it before the president went over[seas],” Manchin said. “I've heard all these time tables.” yeah he's not making moves any time soon 🤷♀️
Can we stop calling him a centrist, he’s anything but.....
None of it should be passed. Each piece should be voted on separately. We have too much debt and the money is only going to come from China.
The communists really hate democracy and centrist Democrats
Ya mean the WVa Republican obstructionist that looks out for his own interest before those of his constituents?
He looks angry; like his coal stocks took a dive.
SOGOTP
He is not a 'centrist'
