During an interview segment of "Meet The Press" on Sunday morning, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. discussed his moves in regards to inflation with host Chuck Todd, and when questioned on his timeline for action said "I'm not going to be responsible for inflaming inflation rates."
"Two weeks ago, you said you were adamant. You needed to see the July inflation numbers before you were ready to talk about this bigger budget bill with the Democrats called reconciliation," Todd says at the opening of the interview with Manchin. "And then, abruptly, you didn't need to see those inflation numbers. What changed your mind?"
