The two Joes: The delicate dance between President JoeBiden and Sen_JoeManchin continues
Biden stepped out Thursday morning to offer his full support for a permitting reform effort Manchin has been pushing for months, calling on Congress to act. The Senate rejected including this measure in the National Defense Authorization Act on Thursday night."Today, far too many projects face delays — keeping us from generating critical, cost-saving energy needed by families and businesses across America," Biden said in a statement.
"I support Sen. Manchin’s permitting reform proposal as a way to cut Americans’ energy bills, promote U.S. energy security, and boost our ability to get energy projects built and connected to the grid," he said. Biden has been urging Congress to pass permitting reform in recent weeks. While this often angered those on the far Left who wanted more progressive policy, Manchin eventually signed off on several bills that helped the Democratic cause.
But the two will need each other going forward. Both are up for reelection in 2024, with Manchin trying to defy the odds as a Democrat in a deep-red state and Biden hoping to extend his run as the nation's oldest president.
