Sen. Joe Manchin is floating a $1.5 trillion topline for the hotly debated multi-trillion-dollar reconciliation package after a new report revealed he warned Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that he would only support that number earlier this summer. In July, Manchin (D-W.V.) and Schumer (D-NY) came to an agreement to start debate on the budget reconciliation “no earlier than October 1, 2021,” with a topline of $1.5 trillion, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by POLITICO.
