President Joe Biden vetoed a Republican-backed bill that would have made cuts to a 2022 Environmental Protection Agency rule that set higher vehicle emissions standards in an effort to reduce air pollution. The rule, adopted in December and set to take effect in 2027, calls for “new emission standards that are significantly more stringent and that cover a wider range of heavy-duty engine operating conditions compared to today’s standards,” according to the EPA. Republicans have criticized the rule for its negative effects on the trucking industry and subsequent effects on the larger economy. “...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) refused to answer questions about changing party affiliation. He took time with the media to chastise partisanship, saying Democrats and Republicans don’t precisely reflect his views. “The D does not saddle me to everything the Democrats want to do is what’s right. I don’t think the Democrats have all the answers. I don’t think the Republicans are always wrong,” he said on CBS’s Face The Nation. “They know how independent I am,” Manchin said of Democrats. “I serve West Virginians and the American people with an independent voice, not a political party.” Manch...

Senate Democrats reached an agreement to increase taxes on some high earners to collect funds to direct toward Medicare solvency in an indication of movement on a scaled-back version of President Joe Biden‘s social spending bill that was blocked last year by centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia). The proposed plan would apply to individuals who make upwards of $400,000 per year and couples that make a combined salary of $500,000 and above. These high earners would be required to pay 3.8% tax on earnings from “pass-through” businesses. Most businesses in the U.S. fall under that classific...

The centrist senator looks to outline a framework as soon as this week, but the number of Republicans who are on board think Manchin’s timeline is too ambitious.

With a 50-50 vote, the Democrats would have had the tiebreaker in Vice President Kamala Harris. Manchin would not budge on his decision, despite the pressure from his party to change his vote. He declared he could not “break the rules to change the rules.” “I cannot support such a perilous course...
