Joe Biden And Chuck Schumer Throw In Towel, Give Up On Passing Build Back Better In 2021
President Joe Biden and Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are throwing in the towel on getting Biden’s next major spending bill, Build Back Better, passed this year because they do not have the votes.
NBC News reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell said: “Schumer is likely to push a vote on the Build Back Better plan until next year, according to four sources familiar with the leaders’ plans.
“He doesn’t have the votes as Manchin remains noncommittal. Schumer is still holding out hope for action on voting rights this year, multiple sources tell us. They are hoping for agreement on a rules change between four moderates who have been meeting –Tester, Kaine, King, and Manchin.”
