from WaPo Climate 202 newsletter

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said yesterday that the climate provisions in the Build Back Better Act have been drafted with the input of holdout Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.), ensuring that they can meet the 50-vote threshold in the Senate.

“I actually spoke to Senator Manchin — over several months I’ve been speaking to him — and the climate provisions, as they are crafted, are crafted with and by him, as well,” Jayapal said during a “Policy and Pints” event hosted by Evergreen Action.
