Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed the Democratic leadership, including President Biden, for the apparent death of the Build Back Better Act, saying that they could have never guaranteed support from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Axios reports.
Said Ocasio-Cortez: “The president did say that… the Build Back Better Act was promised and that he’s got it. We said, you know, he can’t— no one can really promise a Manchin vote.”
Fun fact: Manchin has voted with President Biden 97.4% of the time. In contrast, Ocasio-Cortez has voted with Biden just 91.3% of the time.
