Manchin did not deny that he wants the child tax credit out of BBB. He told reporters that he’s “always” for the child tax credit. “I’m not opposed to the child tax credit.”

But he would not comment when asked if he wants it out of the BBB bill and for it to move separately

It’s nice to see that universal pre-K and paid family leave are threats to the economic stability of the country, but tacking on an additional $25 billion for the big boom-booms at the request of absolutely nobody is something we can easily afford. https://t.co/YtySuuaRp9

Manchin is a Republican, there's no reason to pretend otherwise. Sinema too. There are two scumbags who put "D" after their names, there are fifty with "R" after theirs. Yet this will all be the Dem's fault, the free press will deem it so.
