White House spokesman Jen Psaki said in a statement on Sunday that the White House has not thrown in the towel on BBB, despite Manchin’s ability to effectively veto Biden spending bills into 2022 in the evenly-divided Senate.
"Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word," Psaki said in a written statement.
