Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who had cautioned for months that he was not in favor of the trillions of dollars President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats hoped to spend, ended any hope of a bill passing with an announcement on Sunday.

“I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation, I just can’t. I tried everything humanly possible, I can’t get there,” Manchin said during an appearance of “Fox News Sunday.”

“You’re done — this is a no,” replied acting host Bret Baier, according to The Hill.

“This is a no, on this legislation,” Manchin replied.

“I have tried everything I know to do,” he said, and with this statement, he closed the door on Democratic hopes that he might be persuaded to change his mind.

Manchin had been involved in lengthy talks with the White House and Democratic leaders of both houses of Congress, but in the end he said he could not be swayed. Manchin was a critical piece of the puzzle because under the legislative strategy Democrats relied upon to pass the measure without any Republican votes, all 50 Democratic senators had to fall in line. Without Manchin’s vote, the measure cannot pass.

“I’ve done everything humanly possible,” Manchin said, according to Fox News.

The massive federal debt, inflation and the priority of fighting COVID-19 were among the reasons Manchin listed for his final position.

“When you have these things coming at you the way they are right now, I’ve always said this, Bret, if I can’t go home to the people of West Virginia, I can’t vote for it,” he said, The Hill reported.

Manchin’s stand drew a fierce response on Twitter.

Manchin said that President Joe Biden, who has publicly said that he expected Manchin to support the bill in the end, will not be surprised.

“He knows that I’ve had concerns and the problems I’ve had,” he said, according to The Hill. “The thing we should all be directing our attention towards is the variant of COVID we have coming back at us in so many different aspects and different ways. It’s affecting our lives again.”

Manchin also stated inflation could “really harm a lot of Americans.”

“So, I think that’s where our attention needs to be directed toward immediately,” he explained.

On Saturday, the Senate left Washington for its recess without having voted on the bill, which would have funded an array of priorities for the progressive faction of the Democratic Party, according to Politico.

During an appearance on CNN, Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont castigated Manchin and said Democrats should have a floor vote to make Manchin take a public stand, according to The Washington Post.

“Look, we’ve been dealing with Mr. Manchin for month after month after month. But if he doesn’t have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of West Virginia and America, let him vote ‘no’ in front of the whole world,” Sanders said.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
