The White House came out hard against Sen. Joe Manchin after its talks with him on President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar spending bill collapsed, but the West Virginia Democrat says officials should look in the mirror.

Manchin has said that Biden was poorly served by his staff, who did not listen to his concerns about the bill. White House officials irked the senator earlier this year when Vice President Kamala Harris conducted interviews with West Virginia media in a move that appeared designed to put pressure on him. “I saw it. I couldn’t believe it. No one called me,” he said at the time.
