Just days after telling CNN that he does not plan to be a “roadblock” to President Joe Biden’s planned multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is reportedly “ramping up” discussions with Republicans for a competing, scaled-down infrastructure package.

The Hill reports that Manchin is deep in discussions over “what a scaled-down infrastructure package should look like, and some GOP senators are even optimistic that the moderate Democrat can be persuaded to block efforts to raise the corporate tax rate.”
