The president negotiated with Congress, including Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) directly. Sen. Manchin committed to the president \u2014 who relayed that commitment to House members \u2014 that he would support the legislative framework unveiled on Oct. 28.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut on Dec. 20, Sen. Manchin went back on his commitment to the president and seemingly killed the bill on national television. In a town where your word is everything, this was a stunning rebuke of his own party\u2019s president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite that, we must move forward,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe president\u2019s agenda is even more urgent today. The omicron variant is surging as covid-19 has once again disrupted people\u2019s ability to work, care for children and elders, access medical care and make ends meet. We simply cannot abandon our vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal blamed the failure of the \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d agenda on the legislative process. She wrote that the Congressional Progressive Caucus, of which she is chairwoman, originally proposed a massive omnibus spending bill to put Biden\u2019s agenda into law. \u201cBut seeking a show of bipartisanship, the White House, at the urging of conservative Democratic senators, split the legislation into two vehicles,\u201d the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan, and the \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d bill, which she notes contains 85% of the Biden administration\u2019s domestic agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The effect, Jayapal wrote, was that the interests of women and minority groups were put on the back burner. \u201cPeople of color, women and young people helped deliver the White House and Congress to Democrats, but their needs were consistently delayed in search of bipartisanship,\u201d she complained.<\/p>\n<p>She then lionized the efforts of her caucus, saying that as Democrats worked to pass infrastructure on a bipartisan basis, \u201cCPC was left to protect [Build Back Better] \u2014 often in the face of remarkable pressure.\u201d The Progressives only relented, she waxed, when they felt they \u201chad reached [their] point of maximum leverage,\u201d and that if they held up the infrastructure bill again, Manchin would scuttle both bills.<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal promised that Progressives would keep fighting for Build Back Better, despite the difficulty in coming to an agreement with Manchin, because \u201clegislation remains the best path for delivering enduring relief.\u201d At the same time, she wrote, \u201cwe are calling on the president to use executive action to immediately improve people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking executive action will also make clear to those who hinder Build Back Better that the White House and Democrats will deliver for Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on our governing partners to join us in advancing that philosophy, guided by racial, gender and economic justice \u2014 not corporations\u2019 bottom lines,\u201d Jayapal concluded. \u201cThis moment for the Biden administration and Congress can either lead to our greatest failure or our greatest success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal previously urged the Biden administration to carry out its domestic agenda by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jayapal-biden-should-use-executive-action-to-implement-build-back-better-agenda\">executive fiat<\/a> last week, as The Daily Wire reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate adjourned for the year on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/senate-adjourns-for-the-rest-of-year-punts-on-bidens-legislative-agenda\">December 18th<\/a>.
