Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Wednesday morning said that the next round of stimulus payments may not be sent out to all Americans, saying that Congress is looking at “targeted” payments.

“I’m looking at basically ... the people that are receiving it, what income level... who needs it the most?” Manchin said on CBS' “This Morning.” “And they’re saying up to $50,000 for a single individual and up to $100,000.”
