(CNN) — US President Joe Biden said Tuesday he's confident Sen. Joe Manchin will support his sweeping climate and social spending bill after the West Virginia Democrat publicly raised doubts about the plan. "I believe that Joe will be there," Biden said during a concluding news conference at the United Nations climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland. Biden cast Manchin's reticence at publicly supporting the package as a desire to ensure the final bill meets his expectations, which Biden said it would. Manchin, whose vote is critical to the bill's passage in the Senate, raised concerns about the bill's accounting during a news conference on Monday. This story was first published on CNN.com, "Biden says he can convince Manchin to vote for his sweeping agenda: 'I believe that Joe will be there'."
