That is what happened, but I still am not sure why Repubs are against it.(?) Have the Dems loaded it up with other pork? The "inflation reduction act" is in the rear view mirror in any case.
The GOP told Manchin before he caved that they would ensure he never got the payout, a payout that would ease the potential impact of supporting that with his constituents. They are, for once, keeping their word.
Manchin is politically dead, if he wasn’t awake to that fact before, he is now.
