The WV Democrat talks in detail about what policies he’s willing to support.
His priority? “Fix the tax code.”
“It's the reason we have reconciliation.”

Every morning around 830a, Manchin gets a text from a staffer on what the national debt is (photo below).
Dems have discussed putting a chunk of revenues/savings to deficit reduction as an enticement.
I asked him about that.
“That’s music to my ears.”

Tax policies Joe Manchin told me he still supports in reconciliation:

• Minimum corporate tax 15%
• Capital gains tax 🔼 28% “all in”
• End loopholes like carried interest
• Higher individual taxes for wealthy

Separately, I asked Joe Manchin about the Supreme Court prospects and he went out of his way to boost Michelle Childs, saying she “seems to have a really solid background” and “all the right ingredients” for the job.
“But they’re all qualified,” he added.
