NY Times column urges Democrats to start taking heat off Manchin, 'make a deal' with Romney
Fox News
A New York Times column suggested Democrats start trying to engage with Mitt Romney in order to take the "heat" off Joe Manchin.
Cottle, a member of the paper's editorial board, wrote that trying to "corral" Manchin on policy issues "has proved an extended exercise in teeth-grinding, hair-pulling frustration — not to mention public humiliation for the president."
Manchin announced he could not vote for President Biden's Build Back Better Act, a massive social spending plan, as it stood in December. After months of negotiations, the moderate Democrat explained that the rise in inflation, the national debt, "geopolitical unrest," and the COVID-19 pandemic prevented his support of the plan.
