Former Sen. Joe Manchin’s new memoir reveals that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) struck a secret written deal with him in 2021 to cap former President Joe Biden’s signature spending plan at $1.5 trillion, an agreement Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) discovered months later that left her “furious” and exposed deep fissures among Democratic leadership.

The Washington Examiner obtained a copy of Manchin’s book, Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense, before its release on Sept. 16.
