Biden gives up on passing massive spending bill before Christmas after Senate parliamentarian tanks illegal alien amnesty President Joe Biden released a statement in which he appeared to give up on passing his massive "Build Back Better" spending bill after the Senate rejected the Democrats' latest attempt to shoehorn immigration reform into the legislation.
Democrats hoped to pass the social spending bill ahead of Christmas in order to celebrate a legislative victory for Biden, but they need and can't get a pivotal vote from Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Further complicating passage was the rejection of their pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens late Thursday.
"I believe that we will bridge our differences and advance the Build Back Better plan, even in the fac of fierce Republican opposition," read in part the statement from the president.
"It takes time to finalize these agreements, prepare the legislative changes, and finish all the parliamentary and procedural steps needed to enable a Senate vote. We will advance this work together over the days and weeks ahead," Biden concluded. .........
