The White House announced they would continue to move forward with the partisan $3.5 trillion spending package, despite a moderate Democrat’s disapproval. White House Senior Adviser Cedric Richmond discussed the news on Sunday.
Richmond added he wasn’t surprised there was some opposition. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has voiced his disapproval to certain aspects of the package as he believed there was “runaway inflation.”
While Manchin has called for a pause, the White House previously approved the budget blueprint.
Manchin took to Twitter to express, “instead of rushing to spend trillions on new government programs and additional stimulus funding, Congress should hit a strategic pause on the budget-reconciliation legislation.”
Despite disapproval, Richmond said they were still “full steam ahead.”
