Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) told reporters Thursday that he does not expect Democrats to reach an agreement on the broad details of their multi-trillion-dollar reconciliation bill by Friday, despite hopes from leaders that a deal was in sight.
After Democrats gathered at a Tuesday lunch to discuss their long-delayed reconciliation bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) reported that there was “universal agreement” that a compromise must be reached by the end of the week as divisions in the party continue to hold up the legislative process.
