Lisää vettä niskaan demareille. Bidenin build back better ei mene läpi. Taas tyssää puolueen sisällä omiin edustajiin asia. Ei tässä nyt ihan hirveesti näytä olevan väliä onko siellä Trump vai Biden. =D

Manchin's support for the bill --
a $1.9 trillion spending plan focused on expanding the nation's social safety net, reducing Americans' childcare and health care costs, and climate change -- is necessary for Democrats to pass this legislation using a process called budget reconciliation, meaning it would only need 51 votes to pass.
In a statement his office released after the interview, Manchin reiterated he couldn't support the legislation.
"I have always said, 'If I can't go back home and explain it, I can't vote for it.' Despite my best efforts, I cannot explain the sweeping Build Back Better Act in West Virginia and I cannot vote to move forward on this mammoth piece of legislation," he said in the statement.
