Climate activists stormed the stage during remarks in Washington by Senator Joe Manchin, interrupting his comments about securing the contested Mountain Valley pipeline in the debt-ceiling deal.

Manchin eventually retreated to a back room to finish his remarks at a permitting reform summit held by the digital media company Semafor in Washington after about two dozen protesters with the group Climate Defiance barged onto the stage.
