“Absolutely not. No,” Manchin told The Washington Post in an interview published Friday. “Getting people vaccinated, that’s job No. 1.” “How is the money that we invest now going to help us best to get jobs back and get people employed? And I can’t tell you that sending another check out is gonna do that to a person that’s already got a check,” he said. ADVERTISEMENT Manchin in a tweet, later said if a new round of checks go out, they should be targeted to ensure they go to those in need. If the next round of stimulus checks goes out they should be targeted to those who need it. https://t.co/MWvt9EHOBS— Senator Joe Manchin (@Sen_JoeManchin) January 8, 2021
