WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., spoke Sunday night after Manchin dealt a devastating blow to the Build Back Better Act, two sources familiar with the call said Monday.
The sources said that the call was cordial and that the two kept the door open to further negotiations after Manchin announced earlier in the day that he couldn't support the roughly $2 trillion legislation passed by the House. Biden and Manchin ended their call with an understanding that they would speak again, the sources said.
The call, first reported by Politico, signifies a ray of hope to Democrats that Biden's sweeping social spending and climate change bill isn't necessarily dead, even though Manchin has made it clear in public remarks that it would require major changes to have any chance of winning his vote.
Manchin over the past two days has insisted that all new programs in the bill continue for a decade and be funded for the full 10 years. The demands aren't an easy fix for Democrats, but they suggest that there is a road map to win him over.
Facing unanimous GOP opposition, the bill has no chance of reaching Biden's desk without Manchin in a Senate split 50-50 between the two parties. Manchin's announcement Sunday on Fox News, which was followed by a swift rebuke from the White House, raised questions about whether he would return to the negotiating table.
