Democrats Slam Manchin For Saying He Can't Vote For Biden's Build Back Better Plan

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Sen. Joe Manchin was branded a coward and supporter of monied interests by Democrats on Sunday after declaring that he will not support President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan, a decision that likely dooms the bill’s passage in the Senate, which is split on party lines. “He has continued to move the goalposts, he has never negotiated in good faith,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley said of Manchin in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki also appeared to question Manchin’s integrity, saying his decision, which he announced on “Fox News Sunday,” is “at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances.” "He's continued to move the goal post. - Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley on Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin saying he won't vote for the Build Back Better Act. via Associated Press Manchin, whose family has a lucrative coal business in his home state, said he doesn’t believe the plan — which would fight climate change, expand Medicare benefits, and lower the cost of prescription drugs and childcare — would be good for West Virginia and said he “can’t vote for it.” “Manchin’s excuse is bullshit,” a Rep. Ilhan Omar tweeted bluntly. “The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans.” Sen. Bernie Sanders, head of the Senate Budget Committee, similarly fired back at Manchin’s apparent resolve, arguing that the plan would in fact do a world of good for West Virginia, considering the economic hardships its residents are facing.
