Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) on Sunday said elements from the Democrats social spending and climate package must go through the committee process if the party wants to pass initiatives from the bill, The Hill reports.
Said Manchin: “My biggest concern and my biggest opposition, it did not go through the process.”
He added: “These are major changes. It is going to change society as we know it… And those changes, there should be a hearing. There should be a markup. And then you’re going to have a better product, whether your friends on the other side vote for it or not. But they have to have input.”
