The White House didn't agree to it, therefore the BBB was dead. End of.
Maybe the White House should have been working through the night lining up support in both chambers of Congress instead of sniping via surrogates on national TV?
Manchin’s private proposal to the White House — the details of which have not been previously reported — was made just days before a spectacular public collapse in negotiations between the White House and the senator, marked by bitter and personal recriminations that left the status of the talks unclear.
The White House was weighing how to respond to Manchin’s proposal last week when on Sunday he told Fox News that he would be unable to support the current version of Democrats’ Build Back Better agenda.
lol, relax when you lose in 2022 and 2024 then cry about [insert: racism/sexism/transphobia/fascism/etc.'ism].
As per the above "The White House was weighing how to respond to Manchin’s proposal last week when on Sunday he told Fox News that he would be unable to support the current version of Democrats’ Build Back Better agenda."
So he undercut it by going on tv and saying he would not support the bill.
