New York magazine writer blames Joe Manchin for putting Biden presidency in 'mortal danger'

New York magazine writer Jonathan Chait seems to be laying the prospects of a “failed” Biden presidency completely at the feet of Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V.

"He is not ruling out voting for a bill in the end, but he is exposing Biden’s prospects to fatal danger," Chait warned. "The greatest danger posed by Manchin’s pause gambit is that it will wreck the carefully negotiated strategy Democratic leaders have crafted." Chait dismissed Manchin's concerns of inflation and suggested that his negotiation tactics will likely "provoke distrust" among lawmakers.
