After a brief recess, Congress will try to pass the $1 trillion infrastructure package and up to $3.5 trillion package to expand the social safety net.
Manchin has argued that he would rather see a number closer to $1.5 trillion, rather than the $3.5 trillion that Biden and Democratic leaders have proposed for the package.
"Senator Sinema said publicly more than two months ago, before Senate passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, that she would not support a bill costing $3.5 trillion," Sinema spokesman John LaBombard said in a statement."While we do not negotiate through the press, because Senator Sinema respects the integrity of those direct negotiations, she continues to engage directly in good-faith discussions with both President Biden and Senator Schumer to find common ground.
"My message is simple, we need to stay together," he told the Democrats."We won 2020 as a unified party."Ro Khanna "First, let's be clear—poll after poll, including polls in West Virginia, shows us that what we are trying to do in this legislation is enormously popular," Sanders told reporters."Senator Manchin has been critical of the $3.5 trillion proposal that many of us support, but the time is long overdue for him to tell us with specificity what he wants and does not want and explain that to the American people.
