Manchin missed a furious call from Biden after sinking his $2 trillion spending bill on live TV because he turned his phone off: report

• Biden tried to get Manchin to back his spending plan.

• The effort fell apart when Manchin stopped supporting it.

• The Post reported that Biden tried to call Manchin but his phone was turned off.

The Washington Post reported that Sen. Joe Manchin missed an angry message from the President after he turned his phone off.

Manchin's support in the Senate was crucial for Biden's plan to pass.

According to the Post, Biden was close to securing his support for a package that would cover social care and climate change.

The negotiations fell apart after the White House ignored a request from Manchin's office to remove his name from the statement.

At a time when activists were targeting him and his family with protests for holding up the bill, Manchin sent a message to a Biden aide saying that the statement was "unconscionable and extremely dangerous".

Manchin said in an interview that he wouldn't be supporting the bill. The bill was dead because Manchin was against it.

The breakdown of negotiations was marked by the interview. He missed a call from the president after he turned his phone off.

According to the report, when Biden and Manchin spoke, the exchange was heated and tense, and Biden expressed his doubts about Manchin's intentions.

The Biden administration needed the support of all 50 of the Senate's senators to get the bill through the Senate.

The failure to secure Manchin's support means a key element of Biden's domestic agenda is stagnant, and pledges to boost funding for climate change initiatives, education, housing and social care initiatives are unfulfilled.

A slimmed-down version of the bill is being worked on by Schumer and Manchin.
