Sen. Tim Kaine says most recent version of spending bill is 'dead' but 'the core of the bill' will likely pass

The idea that President Joe Biden's social and climate spending bill is dead was pushed back by Democratic Senator Tim Kaine.

In a CBS "Face the Nation" interview with host Margaret Brennan, Kaine said that the most recent version of the measure is dead, but core elements of the bill could still pass.
The White House economist uses the past tense when referring to build back better. It's dead. Brennan said that you don't have the votes in the Senate.
I don't agree with you, Margaret. You are correct that it is dead. The most recent version of it is not going to happen, but if you look at the core of the bill, I think it's education and workforce, and things like reduce childcare and education expenses, workforce training, and then support for the workforce in areas like health care.
The social spending bill was in trouble as Sen. Joe Manchin blocked support. The expanded child tax credit, which provides up to $300 a month for most families, was opposed by Manchin. The total price tag has been opposed by Manchin.
Manchin said he's no longer supporting his proposal after a breakdown in the negotiation process with Biden's administration.
