The failed BBB negotiations have left the relationship between Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin severely strained. Both senators — and their staffs — quietly question whether the other side can be trusted, sources close to the situation told Axios.

The discord also has the potential to spill over to upcoming negotiations with the House on a China competitiveness bill, legislation to fund the government and revisions to the 1887 Electoral Count Act. “Chuck and I have worked together for a long time, and he has always known I have a deep commitment to governing in a bipartisan way. I respect the difficult job he has as majority leader in a 50-50 Senate," Manchin told Axios.
Manchin, for his part, never thought the White House and Schumer were being honest about the true cost of the spending proposals, the sources told Axios.attention addict who's impossible to pin down, will change his mind numerous times and negotiate in public, Axios is told.Relations between Schumer and Sinema aren't great either, but they're currently better than between the majority leader and Manchin.
"It's important that Sen. Manchin be respected and heard and that we find a path forward," said a Democratic senator.In 2018, Schumer all but begged Manchin to run for re-election, knowing his victory in West Virginia could one day make him leader. Manchin has scoffed at Schumer's position, all but laughing at the prospect the majority leader may endorse a more progressive candidate — and one who could win in West Virginia.On judicial appointments, Manchin hasn't shown any willingness to buck his party and sink a Biden judge or justice.
