The White House conceded on Monday that Senate Democrats such as Sen. Joe Manchin opposed President Joe Biden's plan to raise corporate tax rates to pay for his massive $2.5 trillion infrastructure plan but failed to specifically address his concerns.
Manchin said during a radio interview Monday he could support raising corporate taxes from 21 percent to 25 percent but not President Biden's proposed 28 percent.
When asked about the moderate Senate Democrat's concerns about the bill, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said they will be part of ongoing discussions with the president.
"He knows that some will come forward with different ways to pay for this package, and some may have views that it shouldn't be paid for at all," Psaki said about Biden while speaking to reporters during Monday's press briefing.
"So we fully expect that from Sen. Manchin and other members, and we expect the question how to pay for the package if we pay for the package to be part of the discussion moving forward."
Manchin said at least six or seven other Democrats agreed with him about corporate tax rates, and he stated his opposition to the package.
The White House conceded the debate over corporate tax hikes and Biden's proposal will continue in Congress, as the plan was still in the "Early stages."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
