He ground the bill down to a tiny fraction of what it was, not to mention blocking things like voting and abortion rights.

The president is probably doing this for big picture reasons, but can't say it's a pleasant sight.

Manchin deserves recognition for stepping up. Biden, Schumer, Manchin -- ALL the Democrats who got this through both Senate and House deserve credit for its passage.

Manchin least of all. The bill was shrunk to bend to his will. Not necessary to recognize him like that.

He looked a bit surprised and even humbled, for that moment.

It was an act of graciousness from Biden that can only be good.

"Here you go jerk, have a pen, and thanks for making us wait for a year to get this bare minimum done."

Manchin, caught off guard, reaches out to shake hands...Biden, not expecting the gesture, reluctantly shakes the hand...but doesn't smile again until making a joke and getting his mask ready.
