US’ Manchin: Made significant progress in bipartisan infrastructure proposal negotiations
|US Senate, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin crossed wires, via Reuters, to renew optimism over President Joe Biden’s infrastructure spending plan.
The policymaker said, “We have made significant progress in bipartisan infrastructure proposal negotiations,” while also adding, “We are close to an agreement.”
Earlier in the day, Senate Republicans blocked the opening debate on the infrastructure spending bill by 51-49 votes, pushing it back to Monday.
