Schumer vows vote on Build Back Better despite ‘no’ from Manchin

Senate majority leader says Democrats will keep working on Biden plan until we get something done'

Democrats will keep working on Joe Biden's Build Back Better spending plan until we get something done", Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer told colleagues on Monday - a day after a stunning move by Joe Manchin of West Virginia drew accusations of betrayal from the White House and seemed to leave the president's agenda dead in the water.

In a letter to colleagues, Schumer wrote: We are going to vote on a revised version of the House-passed Build Back Better Act - and we will keep voting on it until we get something done."
