Senator Joe Manchin helped write and pass the Inflation Reduction Act
last summer, but lately he’s been criticizing the Biden administration’s
implementation of it, saying the White House has strayed from the
purpose of the bill. Democrats are growing concerned about Manchin’s
attacks and disagree that the Biden administration has diverged from the
law’s intent. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down Manchin’s criticism and
why he’s been particularly outspoken recently. Plus, the Senate voted
Wednesday with bipartisan support to pass a resolution undoing President
Biden’s two-year pause on solar import tariffs from four Southeast Asian
countries.
