Progressives Are Furious with Joe Manchin

Punchbowl News: “They agreed to pass the infrastructure bill with promises that Biden would be able to bring Manchin along. As of now, he’s not been able to get Manchin on board. There had already been growing frustration among the progressives in the party. Manchin’s statement that he is done with BBB will infuriate them even further. The problem for progressives is they don’t have a lot of leverage here – especially because they agreed to pass infrastructure already.”

Reuters: Bernie Sanders says there should be vote on Build Back Better despite Manchin rejection.
