Manchin praises debt ceiling deal, predicts passage despite GOP, Dem defections
Fox News
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin praised both Republicans and Democrats for their efforts in putting the compromise together.
"Now, is there going to be Republicans who won't vote for it? Sure. Will there be Democrats who don't vote for it? Sure. Will there be enough to pass it? I absolutely think so," he added. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Manchin scored a victory in the final deal with the inclusion of language on the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a natural gas pipeline that spans from his home state into southern Virginia that Republicans have said is key to bolstering U.S. energy independence.
