Sen. Joe Manchin (D.W.Va.), a key voice in the Democratic effort to push through a bill aimed at fighting climate change, told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer he would not support an economic package that raises taxes or includes climate regulations, according to people familiar with the matter.
Instead, Mr. Manchin told Mr. Schumer on Thursday that he would support only a bill that included provisions aimed at lowering the cost of prescription drugs and a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, according to one from the people.
