Joe Manchin during his Tuesday press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSen. Manchin and I are going to get something done,\u201d Biden said when asked whether or not Manchin broke a commitment that he made to Biden during negotiations. The president then walked away from the podium, signaling an end to his press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Following Manchin\u2019s Sunday <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/19\/joe-manchin-no-vote-joe-biden-build-back-better-spending-bill\/\">announcement<\/a> that he would not support the social spending package as currently written, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement that the senator had presented his own proposal for the bill and had agreed to continue discussions with Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"President Biden Delivers Remarks on the Status of the Country\u2019s Fight Against COVID-19\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rHtBYfFc-oA?start=2162&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator\u2019s colleagues in the House and Senate,\u201d Psaki added.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/20\/joe-manchin-fires-back-after-gloves-off-statement-opposition-bidens-spending-package\/\">blasted<\/a> White House aides during a Monday appearance on West Virginia Metro News, claiming that they \u201cput some things out that were absolutely inexcusable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Manchin has expressed support for some of the programs in Build Back Better, he has criticized the structure of the social spending bill. Build Back Better includes sunset clauses for its major provisions, most notably a child tax credit. Manchin has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/01\/manchin-blasts-build-back-better\/\">described<\/a> those clauses as \u201cshell games\u201d and \u201cgimmicks,\u201d since many Democrats want to make various provisions in the legislation permanent. If provisions like the child tax credit and electric vehicle subsidies are made permanent, they would increase the debt impact of the package from $200 billion to $3 trillion. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/10\/congressional-budget-office-three-trillion-permanent-programs-joe-biden\/\">(RELATED: CBO Releases New Build Back Better Analysis, Adds Trillions To Estimate)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the wake of Manchin\u2019s rejection of the bill, some Republicans have begun recruiting him to leave the Democratic Party.

We certainly welcome him to join us if he was so inclined,\u201d Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/mitch-mcconnell-says-joe-manchin-gop-senate\">said<\/a> Monday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden refused to directly answer a question about his Build Back Better talks with Democratic West Virginia Sen.
