Immediately after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an elusive agreement with President Biden to raise theon Saturday, the speaker emerged from his office and called a little-known congresswoman about a once obscure energy project.“We got Mountain Valley Pipeline done,” McCarthy told Rep. Carol Miller , according to people familiar with the conversation.
To make the stars align, House Republicans had to enlist Manchin in communications with the White House, the people said. The resulting deal included many players but demonstrated how industry lobbyists can influence legislation and help certain politicians in the mix. The week-long scramble to boost the project began on May 23 — a day when Republicans accused Biden of “a lack of urgency” in the debt ceiling talks, a claim the White House rejected. On that day, Equitrans CEO Thomas Karam met with staffers for Miller about including the favorable provisions in the debt ceiling deal, the people close to the talks said.
One key player was Rep. Guy Reschenthaler , the chief deputy whip and a key member of the House GOP leadership. Reschenthaler helped rally support for the provisions, noting that the pipeline would deliver gas from Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale formation to markets in the Southeast.
