CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett joins “CBS Mornings” to discuss Senator Joe Manchin's announcement that he won't support Democrats' spending bill right now, plus the impact of President Biden's stalled agenda on state and local races on Election Day.
President Joe Biden's domestic agenda suffered a major setback on Monday when Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said he would not commit to supporting a $1.75 trillion framework on social spending and climate change unveiled last week. Manchin spoke four days after Biden visited Capitol Hill to unveil a $1.75 trillion proposal that would offer free preschool for 3- and 4-year olds, expand home care for the elderly and offer tax credits for companies investing in clean energy sources. The package was half the size of Biden's prior $3.5 trillion goal, after dropping some progressives' priorities, including new paid family leave benefits and key climate control provisions.

Pivotal Sen. Joe Manchin wavered on his support for President Joe Biden's sweeping $1.75 trillion domestic policy proposal, but Democratic leaders vowed to push ahead, with initial voting possible on the bill and a related $1 trillion infrastructure package in the House this week. The West Virginia Democrat's announcement Monday came as Democrats wanted assurances from Manchin that he will support Biden's big package. Instead, the conservative Manchin rebuffed progressive Democrats, urging them to quit holding “hostage” the smaller public works bill as negotiations continue on the broader package.

Increased IRS enforcement to collect unpaid taxes makes up the largest source of revenue in the bill that congressional Democrats are trying to finalize this week. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told Reuters that a revived fear of audits among wealthy Americans would deter tax avoidance.
Marques Armstrong had just got out of the shower one morning this fall when he heard gunshots that seemed to come from his Minneapolis backyard. It was a depressingly routine occurrence on the city's predominantly Black north side that reaffirmed Armstrong's staunch opposition to a proposal on Tuesday's ballot to replace the city's police department — and a required minimum number of officers — with a new Department of Public Safety. The ballot proposal that goes to voters Tuesday has roots in the abolish-the-police movement that erupted after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer last year.
