Manchin's dug-in stance against sweeping climate provisions is landing with a thud among his colleagues...
Democrats have made clear they see addressing climate change as a moral imperative that must be tackled in this legislation. Should Manchin remain this entrenched, there's the very real risk that rank-and-file Dems simply won't accept the final bill.
I'm not yet convinced that Manchin will continue to hold out, but I'm hoping he does. If he does, and if there aren't the votes to pass a watered down bill, then the entirety of Biden's agenda of $4.5 trillion worth of spending may all go up in flames.
My question is this - is the far left intentionally trying to sink Joe Biden's presidency? Or are they really just the stubborn ideologues they portray themselves as?
