White House press sec. Jen Psaki: 'Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word.'
The Powerhouse Roundtable breaks down the latest news on"This Week."on"Fox News Sunday," when he announced that he is a"no" on the legislation.
"This is a no on this piece of legislation. I have tried everything I know to do," Manchin replied, adding that Biden worked"diligently" and was"wonderful to work with" but knew he had concerns. "On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted—to the President, in person, directly—a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President’s framework, and covered many of the same priorities," Psaki said Sunday.
Manchin argued COVID-19 and inflation should be where the country is focusing its fire, rather than dragging out the negotiations further."I've tried. I mean, I really did and the President was trying as hard as he could.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has been one of the senators leading the charge on the Build Back Better bill in Senate, responded to Manchin's no vote on CNN's"State of the Union."
