Joe Manchin throws last-minute wrench in Democrats' infrastructure negotiations
During a news conference, Manchin accused his fellow Democrats of using "gimmicks" to obscure the true cost of their plan and insisted that more time was needed to study the economic effects of the $1.75 trillion social safety net expansion bill.
"As more of the real details outlined in the basic framework are released, what I see are shell games and budget gimmicks that make the real cost of this so-called $1.75 trillion dollar bill estimated to be twice as high if the programs are extended or made permanent," Manchin told reporters. He also warned his fellow Democrats that "I'm open to supporting a final bill that helps move our country forward, but I am equally open to voting against a bill that hurts our country."
Manchin repeatedly emphasized that, although he is not opposing the bill, he will not come out in favor of it until the text has been more thoroughly reviewed.
"Simply put, I will not support a bill that is this consequential without thoroughly understanding the impact that it will have on our national debt, our economy and most importantly all of our American people," Manchin told the reporters. He later added, "To be clear, I will not support the reconciliation legislation without knowing how the bill would impact our debt and our economy and our country. We won't know that until we work through the text."
