It isn't just Joe Manchin standing in the way of the social spending bill [View all]

Source: Politico

The latest: Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), chair of the Finance Committee, told reporters there are more than 20 issues currently playing out before the chamber's parliamentarian. That means it isn't just Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) standing in the way of getting the bill done before Dems' ideal Christmas deadline.

"We have more than 20 issues that we're litigating with the parliamentarian."
— Finance Chair Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.)
