White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defends her statement issued Sunday in response to Senator Manchin's announcement that he could not support the Build Back Better bill, saying "it was important to the president...to make clear the status and the steps that had been taken." However, she says that the president and Senator Manchin "share fundamental values" and are "long-time friends" and that the focus remains on getting the legislation done.
