Splitting up Biden's Build Back Better package could save Democrats' climate agenda
Catch up fast:
"It’s clear to me that we’re going to have to probably break it up," Biden said at a press conference. "I think we can break the package up, get as much as we can now, and come back and fight for the rest later," he said, citing barriers to the child tax credit extension and community college aid. Biden needs support from every Senate Democrat for Build Back Better, but Sen. Joe Manchin opposes the package. Manchin, however, has suggested a deal on climate provisions is possible.Attempting to split up the plan would bring big political hurdles of its own, and force difficult choices that jettison priorities of the wider liberal coalition.
And even the energy provisions lack consensus, with Manchin — whose state is a major coal and gas producer — cool to ideas like a fee on methane emissions.The White House hopes to renew negotiations with Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema , Biden's chief of staff
