Via a tweet from a CNN political reporter, citing a conversation he had with US Dem Sen Joe Manchin
- told me that he wants the infrastructure bill split up into two packages
- to increase the chances of getting bipartisan support
- "The bottomline is that it's time for us to do something that's needed for our country in a bipartisan way. It really is."
- package would be more than the $568 billion GOP alternative."It will be substantial - but it won't be $500 billion."
