Biden, Manchin set to talk again as senator holds out against $1.75T spending plan

President Biden was set to speak with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) Monday afternoon as the Senate moderate continues to hold out against supporting President Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act, which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hopes to pass with only Democratic support in the coming weeks.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the scheduled call hours after CNN reported the two had talked last week, with Biden making clear that he needs Manchin’s vote to help the legislation over the finish line.

According to the report, however, Manchin told the president that he is not ready to say “yes” to the bill just yet, citing ongoing concerns about the size and scope of the legislation.

I cannot believe that there isn’t more than one D Senator against this Anti-American, budget-busting, inflation-causing, social justice monstrosity.

The past 25 years, it always seems that the fate of America comes down to one individual in Congress or SCOTUS.

We’ve already determined what you are, Joe. All we are doing now is negotiating your price.

No, not just yet, but after some more bribes I'll be set.

The deep state must have some dirt on Justice John Roberts. I am guessing they probably do Manchin too. That’s how they operate.

The Biden blackmail just got more interesting, and more lucrative for Manchin.

The way the Democratic party works is you don’t get party support unless you march in lock step. You don’t get elected unless you get party support since the Hillary Foundation bought the DNC some years ago when they were in a financial crisis.

You have to watch the long game to understand what’s going on here.

I would think that Manchin is being bombarded with emails etc. from GOP voters in W. VA to vote “no”.

I don't believe that at all.

Biden is a pr***....I'm sure he's swearing his head off at Manchin.

Maybe Manchin will say...."scr** this"...and go "independent".

I'm surprised that you're surprised.

You’re probably right. That is if Poopy Pants can remember Manchin’s name.

I’m still always surprised how many in Congress absolutely HATE the USA, work against its interests and just plain want it destroyed. I’m naive that way.

I guess I’m also surprised that Democrats could completely FAKE loving American for decades until it became fashionable to outright HATE America and they all let their masks drop at once.

For what it’s worth, I enjoy the 1939 Jimmy Stewart version of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and the Boy Rangers.

Manchin isn't against it in the least, he's just holding out for more publicity and a better pay-off. Never forget, all these "close votes" are nothing but Kabuki theater brought to you by the Uniparty!

Sure the dollar number is important...but getting these stupid programs are the key. Once they are in, politicians (on both sides) will feel free to raise the costs as high as they want to.

Could a "Point of Order" in the US Senate defeat the "BBB" ("Build Back Better") legislation?

According to the US Constitution, on a split 50-50 vote, the Vice President controls a tie-breaker vote in the Senate.

Could a single Senator defeat that vote, by raising a "Point of Order" questioning the eligibility of the VP to hold her office? Research into official documents has revealed the the family of VP Kamala D. Harris committed repeated acts of immigration fraud, including not registering her as a "alien" following her birth on October 20, 1964.

Foreign nationals present in the US on "Student Visas" were not considered "residents" in 1964, and a US born child did not meet the requirements for US citizenship according to laws in effect in 1964. Fraud committed by her parents, allowed Kamala D. Harris to remain in the US (and probably prevented their deportation at that time as well).

A "dossier" with 37 pages of documents and legal code excerpts in a PDF, has been linked via the website at: KamalaKancelWebsite

Kamala-Harris-Dossier

1964-Extension01-WM

Read, and enjoy.
