While I was disappointed to see Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) throw support behind the PRO Act, he slightly redeemed himself yesterday.
How? In the first “Fox News Sunday” program hosted by anchor Bret Baier, Senator Manchin formally announced he’s voting “No” on President Joe Biden’s atrocious $1.75 trillion Build Back Better spending plan.
He declared, “I cannot vote to continue this piece of legislation.I just can’t. I’ve tried everything possible. I can’t get there.”
Baier proceeded to ask him, “You’re done? This is a no?”
Manchin responded, “This is a no on this legislation”
Here’s why Manchin’s “No” vote is the Christmas miracle America needed.
Why Manchin is Voting “No” on BBB
In a statement released yesterday, Senator Manchin made it abundantly clear that after engaging in negotiations with fellow Democrats he couldn’t come around to supporting the Build Back Better Act.
“For five and a half months, I have worked as diligently as possible meeting with President Biden, Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi and my colleagues on every end of the political spectrum to determine the best path forward despite my serious reservations,” read Manchin’s statement.
