Manchin backtracks, downplays involvement in Inflation Reduction Act after claiming he 'wrote' it
Fox News
Sen. Joe Manchin attempted to downplay his involvement in the creation of the Inflation Reduction Act this week, saying he only provided “input" for the bill after previously claiming he “wrote" it.
"Manchin played down his involvement in the IRA, [saying] there was no ‘deal’ with Schumer. Instead, Manchin said he provided ‘input’ that emphasized energy security amid the war in Ukraine — a goal he judged as a success a year later," the outlet reported Thursday.

"Despite his protestations, Manchin’s cooperation was crucial to passing the law," the outlet noted.
