Manchin Launches New Push for Spending Bill

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “has restarted talks with fellow Democrats about reviving the party’s climate and social spending bill, as administration officials search for oil and gas policies that could make the measure more palatable to him,” the Washington Post reports.

“Manchin, who has traveled in the past week with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, has told staff members and colleagues that the legislation must be voted on before senators leave town in August.”
