Centrist Sen. Joe Manchin has thrown cold water on top Democrats' hopes to use a budget reconciliation bill to address issues including climate change and unwinding key parts of the GOP’s landmark tax reform bill. However, Democratic lawmakers hope a narrower bill can be enacted ahead of a tough election year.
And President Joe Biden on Friday said he would take"strong executive action" on climate change following the apparent failure of Senate Democrats to reach a deal on major green energy legislation. "There are a lot of things I wanted. But I will take a half a loaf over no loaf any day, and it's frustrating," said Slotkin, who represents a Lansing-area House district President Joe Biden carried by just 1 percentage point. “I'm frustrated, but that doesn't mean I walk away from the table.”One source familiar with the most recent talks between Manchin and Schumer said they are confident that passing legislation on drug pricing is achievable.
