Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has given signals that he may be willing to negotiate on a slimmed down version of the previous Build Back Better bill, which he effectively killed in December 2021 after he announced his opposition to it on Fox News Sunday. This bill would likely focus on controlling drug prices, energy policy, and tax increases.
Any legislation he puts forth will still need the support of the 49 other Democratic senators (barring any GOP defections), including fellow moderate Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona. Sinema has been in the past been hesitant to support some of the tax increases proposed last year.
