Biden Told Manchin He’d Be ‘Really F–ing’ Him if He Didn’t Vote for COVID Package: Book

President Joe Biden gave a stern warning to Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to try and get the centrist senator behind the 2021 American Rescue Plan.

The $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief spending package needed Manchin's support in the Senate and Biden seeking an early victory for his presidency, Franklin Foer wrote in the new book "The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future."

The book covers the first two years of Biden's presidency and includes hundreds of behind the scenes interviews.

In a March 2021 phone call, Biden told Manchin he'd be "f--king" him if he didn't support the spending package. It was a call Bob Woodward and Robert Costa also reported happened in their own book "Peril."

"Joe, if you don't come along, you’re really f‑‑‑ing me. I need you on this. Find your way to yes," Foer reported Biden said, according to excerpts first published at The Hill.

Foer reported on other alleged tensions between Manchin and the White House at the time, including the West Virginia senator being irked by an interview Vice President Kamala Harris gave in his state.

"Look, you guys lost my state by 40 points. If you really think that coming and doing TV in my state’s gonna change my mind," Manchin told then-White House chief of staff Ron Klain over the phone.

Manchin reportedly ended up meeting with Biden at the White House following that interview, and his wife was appointed to the Appalachian Regional Commission weeks after the American Rescue Plan was enacted.
