Manchin rejects Build Back Better bill over 'inexcusable' differences with White House

Lisa Desjardins, Yamiche Alcindor and Judy Woodruff discuss the implications of the near-collapse of negotiations over the Build Back Better legislative package — a keystone of President Joe Biden's domestic agenda. Republicans always opposed the legislation, but Democrats are now looking at the road ahead after West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin's firm opposition upended plans.
