White House hits GOP over removal of Manchin permitting reform - The Hill

“We support Senator Manchin’s decision not to press for a floor vote given the misguided Republican decision to put politics over progress by opposing his permitting reform plan,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. .

Manchin asked Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to remove the language earlier on Tuesday after Republicans in the Senate and Democrats in the House voiced opposition to it. .

Senate Democrats did not appear to have the 60 votes necessary to proceed.
