Sen. Joe Manchin was promised a vote on his proposal in exchange for his support for the Inflation Reduction Act.
— President Biden is throwing his support behind Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin's proposal to overhaul the federal permitting process for energy projects ahead of an expected Senate vote on whether to include it in a massive defense spending bill., known as the Inflation Reduction Act, earlier this year, but did so in exchange for a pledge from Senate leaders that they would hold a vote on his energy permitting overhaul.
"Earlier this year, the Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act to help bring down every day costs — including costs for energy," Mr. Biden said in a statement Thursday morning."Already we are seeing inflation come down, and that is a step in the right direction. But the work is far from done. I support Senator Manchin's permitting reform proposal as a way to cut Americans' energy bills, promote U.S.
Mr. Biden's support for Manchin's proposal comes days after Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced she was to become an independent, a move that doesn't jeopardize Democratic control of the Senate but did unsettle some in the party. Asked if he would change his affiliation, Manchin said Monday he has"no intention" of switching now but"can't tell" what the future will bring.
