West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin on bipartisan plan for COVID-19 relief funding

Millions of Americans are set to lose their unemployment insurance benefits this month, as federal stimulus programs passed early in the pandemic are scheduled to expire. Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, is leading a bipartisan group of lawmakers trying to broker a new stimulus plan. He joined "CBS This Morning" to discuss the proposal.

Manchin your leaving out a lot of people by not putting stimulus checks in the bill. What about folks who aren’t on unemployment? And why is Mitch saying he isn’t for this bill he wants his skinny bill

This is an absolute joke. A) Unemployment is taking months to even get. 2) Evictions are still happening and some Landlords are refusing to have anything to do with the Care's Act rent funds. We do not have time to wait for programs to help. Lots of food banks are now closed due to Covid People are going homeless and hungry during winter and during your "Christian" holiday. We NEED a stimulus. Period.

Boycott big corporations.. if small business can't stay open. It shouldn't be fair for the major stores to stay open.. let's shut these people down

Joe Manchin’s leanings seem to resonate with Republican ideologies - not a centrist but more RIGHT of centre. He’s in the wrong party it seems

If they don't include stimulus checks in this bill, they never will. Don't fool yourselves!

Sometimes the scariest stuff congress passes is bipartisan. Too little too late.

Bernie Sanders opinion on this is on point, so is Mr. Manchins.
