Biden’s strategy at the town hall seemed to be to detail which specific provisions of the two bills Manchin and Sinema have objected to during negotiations.
President Biden speaks at a CNN town hall in Baltimore on Thursday. was repeatedly asked about the status of contentious budget negotiations with Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. While Biden expressed a measure of confidence that a deal could be reached with the two moderates, he also made clear how much work remained.
“She’s smart as the devil,” Biden said of Sinema at the town hall in Baltimore, adding that she “will not raise a single penny in taxes on the corporate side and/or on wealthy people, period.” “There’s a lot of things that Joe is open to my convincing him to increase environmental progress without it being that particular deal,” he said of the West Virginia senator’s opposition to the downed CEPP proposal.
But many in the audience were less than enthused by the slow pace of passing new legislation during Biden’s first year.
