Manchin Says Dems Should Take GOP Offer on Fed Nominees: 'If They’re Willing to Move Four out of Five? Take It and Run with It, It’s a Win'
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., says Democrats should consider a Republican offer to advance four of President Joe Biden’s five nominees to the Federal Reserve.
His comments agitate an ongoing political battle on the Senate Banking Committee over Fed nominee Sarah Bloom Raskin.
Republicans oppose Raskin given her views on climate action and prior work for a fintech company. Democrats say she’s well qualified and that Republicans are abandoning their duty to vote.
