It looks as if Senator Manchin has followed his own advice — and the wishes of his constituents — and killed President Biden’s absurd, gargantuan “Build Back Better” bill.

On today’s Fox News Sunday, Manchin told Bret Baier that he was out:

Manchin: I’ve always said this, Bret. If I can’t go home and explain to the people of West Virginia, I can’t vote for it. And I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there.
Baier: You’re done? This is a no?
Manchin: This is a no on this piece of legislation. I have tried everything I know to do.

The Senate has adjourned until next year.
