#2 President Biden allegedly called Senator Joe Manchin back in March 2020 and said that if he didn't back his $1.9T stimulus package, 'you're really f***ing me'
According to a book by Washington Post journalists, the phone call took place on March 5 - one day before Senate voted on Biden's 'American Rescue Plan'
Manchin ended up voting with majority of the democratic lawmakers and the relief package was passed in a 50-49 vote
