“White House aides have in recent days discussed revamping President Biden’s economic package so it substantially reduces the budget deficit, in an appeal designed to win over Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV),” the Washington Post reports.
“Biden administration officials have been adamant that earlier versions of the Build Back Better proposal — stalled for months largely due to Manchin’s opposition — is fully paid for and would not add to the deficit. But that argument has not persuaded either Manchin or some of the Washington budget hawks in communication with him.”
