Manchin: "So I think I've been more than considerate on the things that I've been, and where I can’t, I've been telling them from day one. They knew exactly...I'm not a Washington Democrat, so the base they have is a different base than I have." — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Asked Manchin about Democrats accusing him of undermining Biden agenda. "We've come from different areas. It's not just all urban, metropolitan areas. Those of us who come from rural areas, and there's a complete different constituency that we all serve." — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin wouldn't draw a redline on a dollar amount he would accept, only saying: "I want to see what's feasible, what we can do in a reasonable, feasible way." — PolitiTweet.org

"The main thing we need to do is take care of the inflation," Manchin said. "Get your financial house in order. Get a tax code that works and take care of the pharmaceuticals that are gauging the people with high prices. We can fix that. we can do a lot of good things." — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Just caught up with Manchin, who set a very high bar for passing 'chunks' of Build Back Better plan. In short, he wants to see inflation, covid and the national debt dealt with first. Also said they'll be 'starting from scratch' and his December offer isn't on table — PolitiTweet.org
