Commentary Rep. Cori Bush, a Democrat left-wing “squad” member in the House, attacked Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin for his opposition to the multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better Act.

Dems Brush Off Manchin’s Threats, Predict Swift Passage of Biden Agenda
After moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) re-upped his challenge to not vote for Democrats’ $1.75 trillion reconciliation bill, leaders in the party responded coolly, predicting that passage of the Biden agenda is near at hand.
