Sen. Joe Manchin voted against an amendment to the Inflation Reduction Act that would have expedited the completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline .
The debt ceiling compromise struck between Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden, otherwise known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act, contains a provision that would fast-track the completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a key win for West Virginia. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy speaks in the Rayburn Room following the House vote on Fiscal Responsibility Act at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC on May 31, 2023.
The inclusion of the fast-track provision is viewed as a victory for Manchin, who is up for reelection this cycle; however, sources told Fox News that lawmakers such as House Republican chief deputy whip Guy Reschenthaler , Rep. Garret Graves , a key negotiator for the debt ceiling talks, and Rep. Carol Miller pushed for the debt ceiling provision.
“Manchin could have asked to put MVP in any of the Dem-only must-pass bills they passed in the last two years. He didn’t because he couldn’t get it done. Manchin played a key role without a doubt. But his role was simply getting the White House to agree to stop blocking it,” one of the sources explained.“Everyone knows Joe Manchin was the one legislator to bring legislation to complete MVP to the national conversation last summer and secure a bipartisan vote on it.
