The congressman blasted the senator after he said he wouldn't support Biden's social spending plan.
The bill needed the support of all Senate Democrats in order to pass.
I can't get there, I've tried everything. Manchin said in a Fox News interview that he was against the bill.
Manchin cited inflation and high federal debt as reasons for not supporting the better Act.
Manchin said that his Democratic colleagues in Washington are determined to dramatically remake our society in a way that leaves our country even more vulnerable to the threats we face.
He said that he couldn't take that risk with a debt of more than $29 trillion and inflation taxes that are harmful to every hard-working American at the gasoline pumps, grocery stores and utility bills.
Manchin's West Virginia residents would have benefited from the legislation, which would have renewed monthly child tax credit payments, establish universal pre-K, and combat the climate emergency, among other initiatives, according to the man.
Manchin's excuse is bullshit. The people of West Virginia would benefit from a number of things, just like Minnesotans.
The White House slammed Manchin's sudden and inexplicable reversal.
