August 2, 2022 · 4:23 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) says he is exchanging materials with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) to help her better understand the broad tax reform and climate bill he negotiated with Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) and says he is open to her suggestions as Democrats seek 50 votes to put the bill on the floor,” The Hill reports.

“Manchin finally got a chance to speak to Sinema after lunch Tuesday, when she was scheduled to preside over the chamber.”
