The White House and Democrats are hoping to strike a deal on a slimmed down version of the Build Back Better bill that includes major climate and clean energy legislation – a key priority before the midterm elections.

POLITICO’s Zack Colman takes a look at the climate confidants of the West Virginia senator who could help shape his policy positions.
