The path to passing the Schumer-Manchin energy permitting deal on a government funding bill is looking increasingly unclear amid bipartisan opposition.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
"I haven't whipped it but there's not a lot of enthusiasm for helping Sen. Manchin out of his bind," Cornyn added."Sen. Schumer's playing Lucy with the football." Manchin lit into Republicans on Tuesday for trying to block one of the last best chances to pass permitting reform for years, and said Schumer has been"very clear and direct" about including it.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said permitting reform will be in a continuing resolution Tuesday. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said last week that he will compare Manchin's proposal to Capito's bill, and that he will not back"a meager solution intended to help Sen. Manchin save face."Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told Fox News Digital she spoke with Manchin about his permitting proposal, but said she hadn't seen the details. She declined to answer if she would be willing to vote against a funding bill depending on the substance of Manchin's permitting reform.
