Sen. Joe Manchin Has "Serious Concerns" About Democrats' $3.5T Spending Bill
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin said Wednesday he has "serious
concerns" about the $3.5 trillion budget resolution plan passed by
Democrats just hours earlier. Although Manchin voted to open debate on
the measure, he said it represents "irresponsible" levels of spending.
Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema has also expressed reservations.
