West Virginia senator struck deal with Democrats on new policy package after he almost killed off flagship climate action legislation
West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin on Sunday hailed the legislation he almost killed off by calling the rewritten bill to pay down US debt and tackle the climate crisis that he finally agreed to last week “great for America”.
Manchin agreed on a deal with Senate majority leader and fellow Democrat Chuck Schumer last Wednesday, announcing an expansive $739bn package, that had eluded them for months, that addresses healthcare and the climate crisis, raising taxes on high earners and corporations and reducing federal debt.
