Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said that White House staff did ‘inexcusable’ things that led him to publicly reject President Joe Biden's social and climate policy plan, a move that imperils the legislation
WASHINGTON, Dec 20 - U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said on Monday that White House staff did "inexcusable" things that led to his decision to publicly reject President Joe Biden's social and climate policy plan, a move that imperils the legislation.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement on Sunday that Manchin's halting negotiations on the bill would represent a "sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate."A Manchin aide called the White House shortly before the senator's Fox interview, people familiar with the matter said.
Manchin has voiced concerns with a number of proposals in Biden's signature domestic policy bill, including multiple climate proposals and extending monthly, which Columbia University said lifted 3.6 million children out of poverty in October.
