Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is not at the point where he'd back a Democrat push to pass an infrastructure proposal with no Republican support.

“We need to do something in a bipartisan way,” Manchin told a reporter in West Virginia. “We can’t continue on these types of projects, because we were able to bring everything to fruition working through a bipartisan way [before]. Republicans didn’t get everything they wanted last time, as you recall. And basically, we’re not going to get everything, but we can move forward and the president has that desire and the urgency to get something big done.”
