Manchin says he won't support climate, tax provisions in sweeping Democratic bill

Sen. Joe Manchin said he will not support the climate or tax provisions of a Democratic economic package he had been negotiating with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for months.

Schumer and Manchin have been negotiating the package for months and the West Virginia moderate had previously said he would be amenable to climate language and tax increases on higher earners in a bill roughly half the size of the $2 trillion social and environmental bill Manchin single-handedly killed last December.
