.WHCOS Ron Klain quietly courts disgruntled progressives on Sen_JoeManchin's permitting deal: Report
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer agreed to grant Manchin a trove of permitting reforms if he backed the Democrats' legislative crown jewel. But with Manchin on board, several House Democrats have let their displeasure be known. Klain has been making calls to top progressives to prod them into backing the reform, Axios reported.
Klain called Pramila Jayapal , the leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, on Wednesday to prod her into backing the inclusion of permitting reform in the funding bill, per Axios. However, she has been resisting pressure to capitulate, arguing,"We don't like it. We didn't agree to it," according to the report. She wants a"clean" funding bill and for permitting reform to be done separately.
Schumer unveiled a deal he cut with Manchin on a substantially scaled-down and rebranded Inflation Reduction Act in late July, paving the way for the bill's passage last month. But a list of permitting reforms Manchin sought was reportedly paramount to his defection. He wants to streamline the approval process for new pipelines and other types of energy projects.
