Joe Manchin (D-WV) pledged to ensure Republicans have \u201cinput\u201d on the coronavirus aid package moving through Congress, potentially undercutting Democratic leaders\u2019 plans to push the legislation through on a party-line vote.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/joe-manchin-coronavirus-relief-biden-harris-senate-democrats\">Fox News<\/a> on Tuesday and clarified his position on the aid package, saying he supports a bipartisan deal or no deal at all. The Democratic senator\u2019s vote carries significant weight in a Senate split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans. Manchin\u2019s defection from the Democrats on the aid package could sink plans by top Democrats in Congress to pass the bill through the process of budget reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I have told everybody, I made it very clear, from the president of the United States to all of my colleagues, we\u2019re gonna make this work in a bipartisan way,\u201d Manchin said during an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier. \u201cMy friends on the other side are going to have input, and we are going to do something we agree on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has to make sense,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf it\u2019s out of the realm of what makes sense, of what we\u2019ve worked on together, we\u2019ve built too much trust up to allow this to fall apart. So they can count on me to make sure I do everything to make sure this is done bipartisan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have floated using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pelosi-schumer-file-measure-that-sets-up-process-to-ram-through-biden-stimulus-without-gop-support\">reconciliation<\/a>, a process reserved for passing a Congressional budget each year, as a way to work around a potential Republican filibuster, which would increase the number of votes needed to pass an aid package in the Senate from a simple majority to 60.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin, a moderate Democrat, has come under pressure from the White House to support President Joe Biden\u2019s roughly $1.9 trillion aid package. Manchin has been critical of the proposal as written, saying that the aid is not targeted enough toward the Americans who need it most.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democratic-senator-rips-kamala-harris-over-interview-i-couldnt-believe-it-not-a-way-of-working-together\">Kamala Harris<\/a> appeared on a local West Virginia station and pitched Biden\u2019s aid package directly to Manchin\u2019s constituents without notifying the Democratic senator. Manchin, who was leading efforts with Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) to work out a bipartisan agreement, slammed the White House in an interview after Harris\u2019 appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw it. I couldn\u2019t believe it. No one called me,\u201d Manchin said of Harris\u2019 interview. \u201cWe\u2019re going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward. I think we need to. But we need to work together. That\u2019s not a way of working together, what was done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin reiterated his criticisms of Biden\u2019s aid package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe met [Biden\u2019s] economic team and they put out what they wanted. We said, \u2018Just show us the figures.\u2019 Because people need to know. We want to help everybody that needs help,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if a person is making $250,000 or $300,000, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re in much as need as a person making $40,000 or $50,000. We\u2019re going to target it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
