  • Manchin may slam the brakes on passing Biden’s social and climate legislation for now.
  • Speaking to reporters, he brought up how the federal government has spent $5.4 trillion in emergency pandemic aid.
  • “We’ve done everything that we can to help people,” he told Insider.

Meanwhile, Democrats are increasingly alarmed about the prospect of an abrupt cutoff of monthly child tax credit checks flowing to millions
