Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Before being elected president in 2020, Joseph R. Biden Jr. articulated his ambitious vision for his administration under the slogan "Build Back Better," promising to invest in clean energy and to ensure that procurement spending went toward American-made products.
60% : The proposal detailed the highest sustained levels of federal spending since World War II, with the goal of funding the investments in education, transportation and climate initiatives articulated in the two plans.
23% : Mr. Manchin's move followed a June decision by the Supreme Court to limit the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate climate-warming pollution from power plants, dealing a blow to another tool that Mr. Biden had hoped to use.
11% : July 15, 2022: Efforts to revive the bill, in a much smaller form, ahead of the midterm elections were dealt a severe blow when Mr. Manchin told Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, that he was unwilling to support funding for climate or energy programs or raising taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations.
