Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on Thursday that it was “inevitable” that Democrats would try to move forward with the Democrat-only infrastructure package after President Joe Biden said he will not sign the smaller bipartisan infrastructure package without a guarantee about his larger proposal being passed in the Senate.
“Reconciliation is inevitable because, basically, Republicans I understand on the tax, they don’t want to undo anything on the 2017 [tax reform bill]. For those who didn’t vote for 2017, there should be some adjustments. I’m open to that,” Manchin told reporters.
