@nicholaswu12 One thing that hasn't changed: Negotiating with Manchin isn’t exactly Democrats’ favorite topic after nearly a year of back and forth. Asked about it, Sen. Warner said: “I was hoping you would were going to, like, ask me to expound about Ukraine.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema and Manchin seem align. Sinema says Ds already have revenue to do what Manchin wants from last year's bill Sinema spox: "Any new, narrow proposal — including deficit reduction — already has enough tax reform options to pay for it." https://t.co/sFBmXSpFzM @nicholaswu12 — PolitiTweet.org

@nicholaswu12 “You want to be able to defend your people, have reliable, dependable and affordable power? You have to use ‘all of the above,’” Manchin said, defending his support for clean energy. “They say ‘Manchin doesn’t care … he’s killing the environment.’ I’m not killing anything.” — PolitiTweet.org

MORE from Manchin . He says climate package will look different today than it did a couple months ago given situation w/ Russia. He's fine with big clean energy investments but wants to emphasize "all of the above" (coal, oil, gas + clean) https://t.co/sFBmXSpFzM @nicholaswu12 — PolitiTweet.org

@nicholaswu12 Though he prefers everything in Congress is bipartisan, Manchin said he concludes that changing the tax code to make the rich and corporations pay more can only be done with Democratic votes. He said Democrats “know where I am. They just basically think that I’m going to change.” — PolitiTweet.org
