Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain opened up about the Biden administration's"blowup" with Sen. Joe Manchin during negotiations for a social spending spree.
Biden had been desperate for a political win and under pressure from liberals to deliver the goods in his quest for his so-called"Build Back Better" agenda that would funnel more federal dollars to healthcare, the environment, and child care, among other initiatives. He had a litany of concerns ranging from inflation to some of the funding mechanisms proposed for the bill. Democrats knocked him for bucking them, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer put a version of the bill on the floor to force him to diverge from the party publicly.
Manchin publicly pinned the blame for collapsed negotiations on the White House staff, which he said"put some things out that were absolutely inexcusable."
