Biden to go one-on-one with Manchin
By Morgan Chalfant - 05/10/21 11:23 AM EDT
President Biden is having a one-on-one meeting with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday to discuss his infrastructure proposal, the White House said, a discussion that is likely to cover disagreements over the corporate tax rate.
Biden has proposed raising the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent to pay for his $2.3 trillion infrastructure proposal, a hike that Manchin has said is too high. Manchin has indicated he would support increasing the corporate tax rate to 25 percent.
Manchin has also expressed general concerns about the price tag of Biden’s agenda, which also includes a $1.8 trillion plan to expand prekindergarten and community college and offer tax credits to low- and middle-income families.
Manchin’s support is key to any bill that Democrats try to pass using the budget reconciliation process, where they need every Democrat in the Senate to vote in favor of a piece of legislation in order for it to pass.

This is when Manchin folds like a cheap suit.

More lock-stepping openly on display, to be followed by necessary purges to get it 100%. Its like history repeating it self, right in front of you, in your face. Can the clueless remain clueless forever ?

Can the clueless remain clueless forever ?
The answer is "yes," when the clueless are emotionally invested in the lie.

Wonder if it will be the threats, or the bribes/patronage, that do in Manchin?

Those are not mutually exclusive.

We can only hope that isn't the case.
Manchin has already indicated he is not running again.

He is a politician first and foremost, and do what he considers best for himself.
Biden will satisfy Manchin by showering the goodies onto WV to keep his play-toy Senator in power to vote along with the rest of the Dems.
Manchin knows how to get the stuff for his constituents.
He could write his own 'Art of the Deal' book

Yep - cornhusker kickback, 2021 style.
