WASHINGTON— A budget reconciliation package is not likely to pass Congress by Sept. 27, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, said on Sunday.
Manchin said in an interview with"Meet the Press" on Sunday there isn't a reason to rush to meet the deadline. His reasoning for a pause, he explains, is due to all of the unknowns right now with the ongoing Covid pandemic,"inflation is still very high and rampant, and then on top of that, the geopolitical unrest that we have going on, we might be challenged there."
The need to rush into this ? WTF Joe?
Let's hope the Dems can increase their number in the Senate to 53+. I would love to see Manchin get zero committee assignments in 2023 with a pariah status indicator at his place on the Senate floor.
Anything not passed that could have been passed one by one, is 100% the fault of Progressive DEMS, thus, making them REGRESSIVE. Why hasn't the TAX bill making the Rich and Corporations pay their FAIR share become LAW yet? Manchin says he would vote for that PART. BUY the GOP!
😡😡😡😡
No need to rush into this? After 4 plus years with bridges ready to collapse, kids w/o internet which they need for homework, child care too expensive for parents to go back to work, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes from climate change, tech jobs with no qualified applicants, etc?
I am so sick of these politicians. Sen. Manchin needs to get with the program. Does he forget that he can be voted out of his office.
President Biden,Vice President Harris and Democrats why are y'all wasting time with/on 💩💩GOPManchin? GOP MANCHIN doesn't mean his constituents or the Democrats Party any good.
He's not helping the democratic national agenda, hes playing with while probably getting cash under the table from energy.
McConnell is amazed at how little it has cost him, how wildly successful is his (stealth, but not) charm offensive to guide Manchin to upset the Biden agenda. He just keeps getting more & more skilled at this rule-by-the-minority thing. Measuring for drapes in leader's office...
And I think his state could really benefit from passing this bill! So much for working for your constituents!
Manchin only has interest in protecting his own agenda, his corrupt daughter, and wife...it's all about personal fortunes, not about making life better for average mum and dad American's...
Says the man who is half rep and half demo . We need to address him as repubocrat from West Virginia.
Why is the media afraid to go to West Virginia Beckley WVA , Raleigh WVA, Huntington WVA , Charleston WVA HouseDemocrats JoeBiden go talk to the folks Mr President POTUS WhiteHouse CNN ABC DavidMuir GStephanopoulos wolfblitzer NewDay JohnBerman I dare u AlisynCamerota

Manchin is. Bought & paid for by big corporations! Obvious!
Who got to Joe manchin and how much did they pay him? Similar to who paid Brett‘s debts….so sad for the decline of American values….study the fall of the Roman Empire….it’s happening now!
Goodmorning USA
Why is everything 'We don't have the need to rush into this?' Delay delay delay!
So he's wants to be the one that goes in history as blocking everything Biden does. Is he the secret weapon Trump keeps hinting at. .Is he Trump's wild card
Who the heck is he beholding to
🙄come on man him we all need this financial assistance! The climate needs help now!! 😡
The House should table his infrastructure bill in response
Of course we do
We need more dems to cross the line! Manchin knows if he passes this bill his wife makes a bil $. What strength it takes to turn down that kind of money, and save our country! He might cave under the pressure, so we need more dems with courage!
New York City Subway was under water, and he was telling do not rush, they have to wait?
PrgrsvArchitect Gee, maybe it’s time we looked into Joe Manchin’s finances. Where are all his millions coming from? Could they be coming from Koch? I wonder...
Padding his own pockets resignmanchin
I still want to know what deal Manchin cut to protect his corrupt daughter, Mylan's HeatherBresch from being prosecuted for lying to (GOP led) Congress (and REALLY want to know why media won't ask him about it) JoeManchin Sen_JoeManchin EpiPen
Of course! It’s a waste of money. MSDNC
Does anyone still care what Manchin says?
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🤮🤮🤮🤮
People living in areas without power or drinking water might think differently. How the F…. can he be so out of touch with what’s going on in major parts of the country….
Obstructionist. He is motivated by personal gain and not the needs of West VA. Check out the stats in the state.
Yes we have had just about enough of this guy. Maybe he should just declare he’s a Republican.
Senator Manchineel needs to change parties. He is not a Democrat.
Who elected Manchin the king of the United States?
He really needs to go he thinks as trump and not for the people
This is what happens when your party is a big tent. There should be at least 3 major parties and Manchin belongs in the party that should have exist along with all the Republicans who r not liking their party because of Trumpism.
It is pathetic that West Virginia and Kentucky senators and congressmen hold our nation hostage.
Yes we do. Who the hell are you to make a decision for 40 million people in California you Moran
He and Sinema are the most anti Democratic Democrats I’ve ever heard of.
Hey get Joe Manchin a Koch brother.
Says the man getting paid big $s under the table from the republican oil tycoons to stifle Biden & the Majority of the American people, Joe blow will get his day of Humbling.
What a disappointment
What is it about Joe that reminds me of the 1962 movie Manchurian Candidate? Let me think........
He will make sure of it.
Finally a dem with a brain speaks up
If Mr. Manchin drug his feet any harder, you could pave the surface & call it a bike path 😐
🖕🏼
Actually we do, but once it's done his power diminishes. It really serves no purpose to claim Manchin a 'Democrat' when he puts so many roadblocks in front of all the important measures the Democrats need to pass. For all intents and purposes, he's no different than a republican.
Yes, yes you do.
He’s the reason dems are so weak.
Somebody ask Sen_JoeManchin if excruciating mouth pain suffered by our elderly on long-term meds that destroy teeth is worth the rush to pass dental care for Medicare recipients. BernieOrBust2024 Moderates like Manchin are Trump’s greatest asset. POTUS BernieSanders
I’m tired of him.
Says the man who himself not so long ago proposed a $4 trillion budget. Says the man whose state is one of those the most in need. Says the corrupt, paid-for, supposedly Democratic Joe Manchin. (spitting over my left shoulder now... UGH)
How is he going to explain to his voters his opposition to the bill? Plus, the creation of jobs = more taxable income! NeverForget NeverForget911 IStandWithBiden
The Pelosi/Schumer societal & cultural destruction derby has taken a wrong turn & Manchin is re-directing the traffic.
We do have the need to rush this- not rich senators, but their poor constituents do.
Don'tcha just love how our NEWS MEDIA reports a story like this as if the reason JoeManchinWV's doing this is for some 'noble reason' they can't figure out instead of the outright CORRUPTION that it is? Ask the KOCH DOLLARS in Joe's pocket your questions, NBC News. They know.
In Trumps pocket
Sorry - the Koch Dollars in JoeManchinWV's pocket said what now?
I'm disappointed in him
Who is this we Sen.?
Another year of nothing gets done!
Sanders is not going to get Manchin's support. For 2 reasons: Philosophical, does not believe in spending without coverage; His voters (conservatives) would not forgive him.
I guess he's just waiting for some more bridges to collapse. 🙄
Will someone ask him about this
He trying to get something for himself. We need more more Democrats in the senate so Manchin and Semina can’t manipulate for personal motives.
I can't wait until the Democrats gain more seats in the Senate in midterms so nobody will care about Manchin and Sinema's vote.
He knows he's safe for 4 more years so he can screw us as much as his donors want him to.
Pond scum. Charlatans.
Well it appears that the attempts to intimidate the phone and chat companies were fruitless! The January 6th insurrection commission is getting the requested information they asked for and more! This should have some of the Republican Senators s_ _tting 💩 in their pants 👖!
Have you ever been on a bridge and have it collapse on you? Let's hope that doesn't happen. Have you no conscience?
