Manchin Vindicated?

Where does Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) go for an apology? Anti-MAGA conservative columnist Tim Allen asks in The Bulwark<https://thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/joe-manchin-was-right-about-pretty> following the senator’s deal with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to introduce the Inflation Reduction Act tackling climate change, health care and pharmaceuticals and closing tax loopholes to pay for it all. 

But Republicans senators are much-less convinced, making it clear it will need a nod from the Senate parliamentarian to run the bill through budget reconciliation in order for it to pass without threat of a filibuster. 

Manchin was “taken to the cleaners” on Inflation Reduction, according to Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), who has taken the heat for torpedoing the $400 billion veterans’ burn pit bill.
