Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on April 25 he would support passing a smaller infrastructure bill with bipartisan support, appearing to oppose the scope of President Joe Biden’s plan.
In an interview with CNN, the Democratic senator said that he prefers a “more targeted” measure that would incorporate broadband internet, roads, and other traditional infrastructure needs. When asked if he would back another bill with other related spending via a Senate process called reconciliation, he replied, “No.”
