Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., spoke about the Inflation Reduction Act on multiple talk shows and repeatedly failed to answer questions about midterm elections.
"The only thing we have done is basically say that every corporation of a billion dollars of value or greater in America should pay at least 15% of minimum corporate tax," he said on NBC's"Meet the Press."Manchin also noted that a deal between Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D- N.Y., and he was struck in private to avoid drama.
Manchin added that he's struck an agreement with Democratic leaders to support the bill in exchange for taking on permitting reform later. Manchin also noted that the bill will especially target energy prices in the U.S. by upping production and using clean energy effectively. "Whatever the voters choose," he said on"Meet the Press.""Whoever you send me that's your representative and I respect them."
