WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday that he was going to speak with Senator Joe Manchin, the centrist Democrat from coal-rich West Virginia whose vote is crucial to the passage of the budget reconciliation bill pending in Congress.

Asked by reporters at the White House how he planned to get Manchin to agree to support his agenda, Biden pointed at the Oval Office and said: "We're doing that right now. That's what I'm doing."

Latest comments

Trump would've just golfed instead
Do people honestly believe that Biden is capable of having a worth while conversation with anyone?  Obviously it will be others in his administration doing the talking beyond pleasantries.
Did Biden follow him into the men’s room with a camera
Biden will say to Manchin that they will extort him unless he folds
JoeB can't discern the difference between how and when.
A doomed presidency.
