Manchin Says He Could Back Reconciliation This Year

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said that he could support passing a Democratic-only spending bill by the end of the year, even as he blasted a multi-trillion-dollar top-line spending bill envisioned by progressives as “fiscal insanity,” The Hill reports.

Said Manchin: “I think we can get a good bill done. I really do, and work in good faith.”
