Manchin Blasts Biden on Debt Ceiling

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Thursday blasted President Joe Biden for rejecting GOP debt ceiling negotiations, accusing him of showing a "deficiency of leadership."

"America is facing a historic economic crisis brought on by an abject failure to address our exploding national debt, chronic inflation, a looming recession, and the more immediate need to raise the debt ceiling. Our elected leaders must stop with the political games, work together, and negotiate a compromise," Manchin said in a statement.
