Key Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin signs off on $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill as long as there's a 'bipartisan process'

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., talks with Vice President Joe Biden who conducted a mock swearing in ceremony in the Old Senate Chamber.Manchin supports a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package so long as there's bipartisan input. Manchin has expressed willingness to scale down some measures in the bill. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, one of the Senate's most conservative Democrats, said on Wednesday morning that he would support spending $1.

Manchin added that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday that the stimulus negotiations would be a bipartisan process, and Manchin insisted that Democrats would fulfill that promise by encouraging input from Republicans. Manchin has said he wants the stimulus checks to be more"targeted to those who need it," suggested that he wouldn't agree to $350 billion in state and local funding, and said he doesn't support raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour.
