Democrat Senator Joe Manchin said on Tuesday that “it makes no sense to me” to abandon the Senate filibuster, the week after Democrat President Joe Biden said he was open to changing the custom to pass a voting-rights bill.

In an interview with the Economic Club of Washington, Manchin — a moderate Democrat whose vote is key to legislation passing the Senate — also said there was a “high probability” that Congress will approve a bipartisan infrastructure investment bill and a larger domestic investment measure to expand social services and attack climate change.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D_N.Y., speaking on the Senate floor, said of that legislation’s fate: “We remain confident that a final deal is within reach.”

Manchin said the $1.5 trillion he is seeking for the larger of the two bills is “more than fair,” even as progressives push for $2 trillion or more. The original price tag proposed by Biden was $3.5 trillion.
