Manchin Still Pushing For Splitting Of Infrastructure Bill

US

Joe Manchin told me that he wants the infrastructure bill split up into two packages to increase the chances of getting bipartisan support - a position at odds with Durbin.

"I hope not. And the reason I hope not is time is not on our side, we have so many things to do... So the sooner the better, to keep everything together and move it in a package that works.""
