Braddock, PA — Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman on Monday issued the following statement after it was reported that Sen. Joe Manchin thinks Congress should take a “strategic pause” until 2022 before voting on President Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda:

“I’ve read the room at every event from Butler County to Bucks County and every county in between, I have not once heard from our voters that Democrats in Washington should slow down. There are no filibuster stans.

“What I am hearing from voters is if Democrats don’t deliver now, when will they, given the Republicans are gleefully setting the table for 2022 and 2024.”
