Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Democrats must act quickly to pass the $3.5 trillion budget resolution, after moderate Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who holds a key vote, called for pausing further action on the bill until the current inflation is assessed.
“You can’t slow it down,” Sanders told The New York Times in an interview this weekend while in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he was championing the sweeping legislation.
