West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin praised both Republicans and Democrats for their efforts in putting the compromise together.
Manchin brushed off concerns from his fellow Democrat, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who vowed to mount an effort to get the pipeline"Well, that's fine. We're gonna have some of that, we understand. I respectfully disagree with him," Manchin said."No matter what you do, you're not going to satisfy some people. We just respectfully disagree. Tim Kaine's a friend of mine, I respectfully disagree with him on this.
The bill has already seen support among moderates in both parties, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to get 218 votes in the House and 60 in the Senate. Both conservatives and progressives have predictably balked at the compromise legislation, with the former accusing it of not going far enough to rein in spending while the latter has opposed spending cuts in the bill.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy talks to reporters just after the Republican majority in the House narrowly passed their sweeping debt ceiling bill in April.
