The president spoke with intensity while answering questions about his stalled plan following an address on COVID-19.
President Joe Biden made an address from the White House Tuesday to discuss COVID-19 ahead of the holidays, and afterward, he made remarks to the press about his Build Back Better plan, which is currently stalled in Congress, that were emotional at times. A reporter asked the president if West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin had broken his word by announcing he will oppose the plan in its current form. “I’ve told you before that some people think maybe I’m not Irish because I don’t hold a grudge. Look, I want to get things done. I still think there’s a possibility of getting Build Back Better done,” Biden answered.
