The cornerstone climate measure of Democrats' massive spending package will likely be dropped after pushback from Sen. Manchin, three sources say
"He is not there on the CEPP period. We've been trying," one Democratic aide with knowledge of the negotiations told CNN. The aide told CNN that Democrats are trying to find ways to restructure the program to fit Manchin's concerns while still reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"Whatever comes through will not be called the CEPP, but we're strongly hoping and thinking there will be ways to meet what he wants," the aide said, adding,"If there's a deal to be struck in the next few days, I don't think there's anything resembling CEPP in there."The New York Times first reported the measure would likely be cut.
