U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., recently stated he could not vote for the Senate’s climate bills because June inflation rates were so high. He also said he wanted to wait to see what the Supreme Court would do in a recent environmental case.
Senate Democrats already pared down their monetary requests and cut out some tax breaks for electric vehicles, among other concessions. Was he ever going to vote for any measures that would deal with climate change?
