Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine criticized a provision of the debt ceiling deal agreed to by the White House this week which fast-tracks a massive pipeline in his state.
"Last summer, I introduced legislation to complete the Mountain Valley Pipeline," Manchin said Sunday."I am pleased Speaker McCarthy and his leadership team see the tremendous value in completing the MVP to increase domestic energy production and drive down costs across America and especially in West Virginia."
Sections of steel pipe for the Mountain Valley Pipeline are pictured Aug. 31, 2022, in Bent Mountain, Virginia. "I'm an energy moderate. I'm not an energy — I'm not left on energy issues. But there's a reason you have a process. You put it with administrative agencies so folks can't buy off Congress," Kaine added."You know, somebody said that the White House might have made a commitment to Joe in the IRA. Well, I made a commitment to people. My voters.
