WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats are quietly trying to revive the Build Back Better Act with a new version of the bill that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) might like better than the old one. Democrats turned to voting rights this month after Manchin said in December he couldn’t support Build Back Better.

Manchin has said recently that he himself is not involved in any Build Back Better negotiations.
