Two Dem senators balk at Biden s new spending plan POLITICO 2 hrs ago © AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite Sen. Joe Manchin leaves the Senate chamber. Joe Manchin wants his party s leaders and President Joe Biden to make significant changes to their sweeping new tax-and-spend legislation and he’s got other Democratic senators with him. The West Virginia Democrat is readying for his second act after he played hardball on the $1.9 trillion coronavirus legislation just a month ago and demanded several last-minute changes. On Monday, Manchin told West Virginia radio host Hoppy Kercheval that Biden’s plan to pay for infrastructure by raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent is a non-starter and that “this whole thing here has to change.”
