West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin first killed President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda in December. As he explained it, he could not support legislation that contributed to “inflation taxes that are real and harmful to every hard-working American.”
Manchin killed Build Back Better again in January when he told reporters that Washington first needs to “get [its] financial house in order, get this inflation down” before any Build Back Better agenda items can be considered.
