It's now leaking that Manchin's "final offer" to Biden included nearly everything currently in Build Back Better except the child tax credit. Biden said no, he wanted it all, so Manchin pulled his stunt.
It's obviously going to get done, just a question of what's in or out.

It was pretty obvious when Manchin went on TV that he was just trying to get Biden to cave on whatever the final sticking point was.
But with a thousand pundits yelling "it'll all over, it's dead" in your ear, it's understandable why you maybe couldn't see the obvious.

It's also clear that Manchin is feeling the heat from the pressure we've been all putting on him all day, because he's likely the one who leaked that he's actually willing to cave on most of it. Now is the time to ramp UP the pressure on him.
It's now clear that we're eventually going to get either the majority of Build Back Better, or maybe even all of Build Back Better, depending on how much pressure we put on Manchin. Call his offices today, be civil but firm: 202-224-3954 and 304-342-5855
