WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that he and conservative Democratic Senator Joe Manchin were “going to get something done” on the president’s proposed social spending legislation.
“Senator Manchin and I are going to get something done”, Biden told reporters when asked about Manchin, who had publicly rejected the president’s “Build Back Better” plan on Sunday in a move that imperils the legislation.
