Joe Manchin (D-WV) called on his Democratic colleagues on Thursday to negotiate with Republicans on spending cuts ahead of the country's summer deadline to raise the debt ceiling. The West Virginia senator, a centrist Democrat, argued that the United States needs to put itself on a fiscally sustainable path, a call that comes as Republicans push to roll back spending as part of any debt ceiling agreement. Democratic lawmakers have resisted the call for concessions, largely insisting on a clean increase and arguing that risking default would be devastating for the economy.

The legislation would require rail carriers to notify state emergency response officials if they are carrying hazardous materials and ensure that each train is operated by a team of at least two people. <\/p>\n<p>Biden has since said that he will visit the site of the train derailment, which occurred on Feb. 3, at &#8220;some point,&#8221; but he has not given a timeline for the visit. <\/p>\n<p>A Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous materials crashed last month, causing 38 train cars to derail from their tracks. The incident has left residents in the town concerned about long-term health effects due to a subsequent controlled burn that released chemicals done to avoid an explosion. <\/p>\n<p>Ryan also spoke at an event at <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/restoring-america\/community-family\/vanderbilt-halts-transgender-surgeries-minors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vanderbilt University<\/a> in <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nashville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nashville,<\/a> Tennessee, on Tuesday, where he <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lCn65G-2GWA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">addressed<\/a> the need for politicians to regain the public&#8217;s trust amid a time of misinformation, and the need for them to connect with voters where they are. <\/p>\n<p>Although he is a strong critic of former President <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump,<\/a> Ryan admitted that Trump was good at making people feel as if he were &#8220;one of them.&#8221; However, Ryan slammed Trump for trying to politicize the train derailment. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s the kind of thing that needs to stop in the country,&#8221; Ryan said in Nashville. &#8220;There&#8217;s no need for the former president to be there throwing gasoline on this fire.
