Progressives demand Biden act alone to implement massive agenda after Manchin kills massive spending bill

House progressives, irate over Sen. Joe Manchin tanking Democrats massive reconciliation spending bill, are demanding that President Biden take executive action to implement some of the legislation.

"That means a whole-of-government approach," it continued. "In Congress, we will continue to prioritize a legislative path for Build Back Better… In the meantime, the White House must continue to act on a parallel track by using the President’s incredibly powerful tool of executive action."

Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said earlier this week that she hopes Biden will act alone to implement parts of the reconciliation bill.
