Sen. Joe Manchin Threatens Bill He Helped Pass Over Biden Energy Policies
- Sen. Joe Manchin voted for the Inflation Reduction Act but now threatens to repeal it if the Biden administration does not change its stance on fossil fuel investments in the bill.
- Manchin argues the Biden administration is not following the intent of the law to support fossil fuels and is instead attempting to implement the legislation it originally wanted.
- Manchin calls on Biden to negotiate with Republicans to change "out-of-control" fiscal policies or he may vote to repeal the act.
- Manchin says the U.S. is at an energy disadvantage after a brief period of energy independence under Trump and warns more investment in fossil fuels is needed.
- Manchin struck an independent tone and said political parties should not define who someone is as a person.
