Billionaire investor Nelson Peltz told CNBC that he talks to Sen. Joe Manchin every week, offering him words of encouragement as the conservative Democrat pushes to shrink the cost of President Joe Biden’s sprawling economic plan.
Said Peltz: “Joe is the most important guy in D.C. Maybe the most important guy in America today. I call him every week and say, ‘Joe, you’re doing great. Stay tough. Stay tough, buddy.’ He’s phenomenal.”
