President Joe Biden and the White House are reportedly "steaming mad" at Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., after the senator said he wouldn't consider the administration's climate and tax provisions in a sweeping Democratic bill.
"The president has told confidants that while he understands Manchin represents a deep-red state, he can’t fathom why he keeps torpedoing the party’s best-laid plans," Politico reported on Tuesday.
A Democratic operative told the outlet that Manchin is "ridiculous" and said that he plays games and is a "bad actor."
