Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) will attempt to remove a provision backed by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) from the debt ceiling deal that was agreed on by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
The debt deal between Republicans and the White House refocuses the push to finish construction for the Mountain Valley Pipeline provision, a project that has faced several delays since it was supported by the West Virginia senator.Kaine’s office said Monday the senator would file an amendment to revoke federal permits for the natural gas project from the debt ceiling legislation.
Manchin, who introduced legislation to complete the natural gas pipeline last summer, thanked McCarthy after the provision was included in the deal. However, he snubbed the White House in his initial reaction.
