JAKE TAPPER, CNN: So, President Biden says his conversations with Senator Manchin are going to continue next week and that, quote, 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, unquote.

But isn’t this exactly what you and your fellow progressives feared that Biden’s infrastructure plan would become law and Build Back Better would ultimately die because of people like Senator Manchin who has never been enthusiastic about it to begin with?

REP. PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D-WA): Yeah, Jake, it’s great to see you. Look, this is what we feared. It’s why we tied the two bills together to pass them through the House. And we did take the president’s word that he would get 50 votes in the Senate.

And the president called me yesterday. I do believe we will get there. I think he is still just as committed. And I don’t think it’s out of the question that we’ll at least have an agreement by the 25th.
