After Manchin Voices Opposition, Schumer Announces Vote On Build Back Better

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Monday that the Senate will vote on the Build Back Better Act following demands from left-wing members of Congress.

Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin announced Sunday on Fox News that he would not support the social spending package.

“Senators should be aware that the Senate will, in fact, consider the Build Back Better Act, very early in the new year so that every Member of this body has the opportunity to make their position known on the Senate floor, not just on television,” Schumer wrote in a Dear Colleague letter.

“We will keep voting on it until we get something done,” Schumer added.
