Joe Manchin: Reconciliation Deal 'Not Going to Happen Anytime Soon'
乔·曼钦：“短期内不会达成”和解协议
Senator Joe Manchin said he doesn't think Democrats will reach a deal on a reconciliation framework by Friday -- the deadline set just a few days ago by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
参议员乔·曼钦表示，他认为民主党人不会在周五之前就和解方案达成协议——周五是几天前多数党领袖查克·舒默设定的最后期限。
"This is not going to happen anytime soon, guys," Manchin told CNN's Ted Barrett on Thursday.
周四，曼钦告诉CNN的泰德·巴雷特：“这不会很快达成的，朋友们。”
"They're trying to get a meeting of the minds."
“他们正试图达成共识。”
But the West Virginia lawmaker said he believed the party is making "good progress" as negotiations continue on the multi-trillion-dollar spending package.
但这位来自西弗吉尼亚州的议员说，他相信该党正在取得“良好进展”，此时有关数万亿美元支出计划的谈判仍在继续。
"There's a lot of details," Manchin said. "Until you see the text and the fine print, it's pretty hard to make final decisions."
“有很多细节，”曼钦说。“在你看到文本和细则之前，很难做出最终决定。”
