Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) was one of the key forces behind the Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law in 2022. But since it passed, he has evolved his views of the legislation and its implementation.
Manchin, once a fierce champion of the bill, has questioned the ways the Biden administration has carried out the law. Since the original incarnation of President Joe Biden's climate and healthcare bill, Manchin has been a critic and a deciding vote.Here is a look at Manchin's evolution regarding the Inflation Reduction Act.
Dec. 19, 2021: After nearly a month of attempting to negotiate a path forward in the Senate, Manchin said he is a"no" on the bill. The West Virginia Democrat explained he could not support the bill due to its cost during high inflation. Because the Senate was evenly tied between Republicans and Democrats, with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tiebreaker, the bill was effectively killed.
“Rather than risking more inflation with trillions in new spending, this bill will cut the inflation taxes Americans are paying, lower the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs, and ensure our country invests in the energy security and climate change solutions we need to remain a global superpower through innovation rather than elimination," Manchin said.
“So they’re gonna basically starve us out of energy that we have a tremendous, abundant supply of because of their aspirational thoughts?” Manchin said. “I will continue to fight, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure the public knows what they’re doing and what it will do to you and your economy and your lifestyle.”
Aug. 16, 2023: On the first anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, Manchin released a statement saying he plans to wage an"unrelenting fight" to prevent the Biden administration's"radical climate agenda" from being implemented with the bill as opposed to the initiatives in the legislation.
