Senator Joe Manchin says he’ll oppose an economic measure he’s been negotiating with Democratic leaders if it includes climate change action or higher taxes on the rich or corporations.
Manchin told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday that he will only support a new measure if it is limited to curbing pharmaceutical prices and extending federal subsidies for buying health care coverage. Manchin abruptly derailed his party’s bigger and wider-ranging social and environment package last December after months of negotiations and after the measure had already passed the House.
