Earlier this week, Sen. Joe Manchin conceded defeat on his push to
combine his energy permitting package with a short-term government
funding bill. Though the bill might have died before it reached the
Senate floor, some lawmakers and clean energy advocates are hopeful a
compromise can be revived. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Kelsey Tamborrino
discuss why Manchin backed off on his top priority and the remaining
obstacles any future legislation faces. Plus, President Joe Biden on
Wednesday warned oil companies against increasing gasoline prices as
Hurricane Ian makes landfall in the United States.
