WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Joe Manchin declared Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s vast social and environment bill is “dead,” using his strongest language to date to underscore that any revival of Democrats’ top domestic priorities would have to arise from fresh negotiations.
“What Build Back Better bill?” Manchin said Tuesday, using the legislation’s name, when reporters asked about it. “There is no, I mean, I don’t know what you’re all talking about.” Asked if he’d had any talks about it, he added, “No, no, no no. It’s dead.”

Given enough federal money, Joe M. will roll over better than Major Biden.

Manchin’s unfortunate suicide will revive the bill. Manchin's unfortunate suicide will give control of the Senate to Republicans.

9 months to Nov election.
Let's say it is dead. Bet the Dems come up with a small package...which is 95% climate crap.

To Build Back, you must destroy first. They haven’t quite finished the “destroy” part yet.

Brandon already said they would simply do it piecemeal. But I think Pelosi put the kabash on it because of the “reconciliation” aspect.
To: Steely Tom
Let Biden figure it out....we can wait..and wait...and wait...and wait.
