Manchin is the crucial final vote needed to push the bill across the finish line in the evenly split Senate but has remained resistant to the frustration of his fellow party members.
He told Baier that he couldn't vote for it to continue.
The social spending bill, which Biden has said is his plan to rebuild the middle class, has been fought over by Democrats for eight months.
Manchin told the White House and Democratic leadership of his decision before making the announcement, according to CNN.
I can't vote for this piece of legislation. Manchin said Sunday that he just can't. I have tried everything possible. I can't get there.
The country's social safety net and fighting climate change are some of the provisions contained in the Build Back Better plan. The scope of the bill was reduced to appease Manchin and Sinema. The measure has been opposed by Manchin because it has an improved child tax credit. Manchin said in a statement that he would not take the risk of changing society in a way that leaves the country more vulnerable to threats, because of the country's debt and inflation taxes.
Chief critic.
The senator hopes that a strong bill will be brought to the floor of the Senate so that Mr. Manchin can explain to the people of West Virginia why he doesn't have the guts to stand up to the powerful special interests.
What to watch for.

Manchin says he won't vote for the bill.
Manchin says he will not vote for it.
