Manchin calls for infrastructure vote, noncommittal on social-spending bill

Sen. Joe Manchin, a key West Virginia Democrat, on Monday called for a House vote on a bipartisan infrastructure bill, and said he wouldn't support a larger social-spending bill without more details. Speaking on Capitol Hill, Manchin said he won't support the so-called reconciliation legislation without knowing how it would "impact our debt and our economy." Democrats have been planning to try again this week to advance both bills. The infrastructure bill passed the Senate earlier this year but intraparty divisions among Democrats has slowed progress on the bigger measure.
