Senate votes down Sen_JoeManchin's permitting bill meant to speed infrastructure projects
"I don't know how we can explain it if we vote against it," Manchin said in a Senate floor speech Thursday evening, calling on lawmakers to approve the updated bill as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, which is considered must-pass legislation. Sixty votes were required to approve Manchin's amendment.
Most Republicans have also opposed the bill for a variety of reasons. Some expressed frustration about being left out of the bill's writing. Schumer agreed to support permitting reform in August in exchange for Manchin's"yes" vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes $369 billion in climate and clean energy spending.
Manchin then regrouped and asked colleagues to support his updated, renamed text as an amendment to this year’s NDAA.
