Manchin said he expected the text of the bipartisan bill would be released Sunday, and that senators would start the amendment process on the bill by Monday.

Joe Manchin would not guarantee Sunday that a Democratic-led reconciliation package would garner the necessary votes for passage, even as he predicted the bipartisan infrastructure package would pass the Senate this week.

Manchin called for looking at the reconciliation package — which is expected to tackle social programs and "human" infrastructure — through the same lens.

Manchin also said he expected the text of the bipartisan bill would be released Sunday, and that senators would start the amendment process on the bill by Monday.
