Tanya reports that Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) latest pooh-poohing of a Democrat-only social spending bill is a blow to the Biden administration’s goal of electrifying U.S. transportation, even as consumer interest in electric vehicles is soaring. Manchin said Friday that he won’t vote for a social spending bill this summer that includes potential climate investments like the EV tax credit, though he left the window cracked for possible movement on such a bill in September.
