WASHINGTON — Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) expects Democrats to start over on the Build Back Better legislation with a “clean sheet of paper” after he killed the bill last month. “We will just be starting from scratch,” a cheerful Manchin told reporters Thursday. “I was really surprised when the Democrats didn’t get it passed,” Laura Dees, a stay-at-home mom in Amarillo, Texas, told HuffPost. “We need to determine what Joe Manchin is in favor of.”Several Democratic senators also said they’re talking among themselves about what sort of child tax credit compromises they could present to Manchin. “I don’t know what it will take to get Joe Manchin,” Bennet told HuffPost.
