Joe Manchin has effectively doomed President Joe Biden\u2019s pricy social spending plan, telling \u201cFox News Sunday\u201d that he will not vote on the legislation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/03\/joe-manchin-biden-vaccine-mandate-mike-braun-west-virginia-indiana\/\">Manchin<\/a> has been a thorn in Biden\u2019s side with regards to the president\u2019s $2 trillion Build Back Better Act, repeatedly raising questions about its cost amid inflation problems, but never officially announcing whether he\u2019d back the bill. On Sunday, Manchin appeared to give his final answer on whether he\u2019ll vote for the House-passed version of Biden\u2019s bill, telling Fox News\u2019 Bret Baier that he\u2019s \u201ca no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I can\u2019t go home and explain to the people of West Virginia, I can\u2019t vote for it,\u201d Manchin explained. \u201cAnd I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can\u2019t. I\u2019ve tried everything humanly possible. I can\u2019t get there. This is a no on this piece of legislation. I have tried everything I know to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin\u2019s announcement is a big loss for Democrats, as his vote is needed to pass Biden\u2019s agenda through the Senate. Manchin noted his efforts in coming to an agreement on the plan \u2013 he\u2019s had multiple talks with Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others \u2013 but ultimately, concerns about inflation, the federal debt and more made his decision final.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"11.101928374656\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BretBaier?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BretBaier<\/a>: \u201cYour number at the beginning was $1.7T.
