Manchin Returns to Negotiations on Biden Agenda

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “is open to reengaging on the climate and child care provisions in President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda if the White House removes the enhanced child tax credit from the $1.75 trillion package — or dramatically lowers the income caps for eligible families,” Axios reports.

“The holdback senator’s engagement on specifics indicates negotiations between him and the White House could get back on track.”

More from Axios: “All eyes are on Monday night’s Senate leadership meeting, which Manchin will attend, and Tuesday’s weekly caucus lunch.”

“The lunch will be the first time all Senate Democrats are together in one room since Manchin made his opposition to the bill public last month.”
