Republicans To Present Counteroffer To Dems Infra Plan On Thursday

US

Earlier today it was confirmed that that following a 45 minute meeting between senior GOP figures in Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)'s office, Senate Republicans are set to present a counteroffer to the White House's infrastructure plans on Thursday.

  • Capito: "In any negotiation, you see what the reaction is....we are anxious to have a bipartisan agreement,"
  • Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) stated after the meeting that the GOP counteroffer would be 'within the parameters' the Biden administration has suggested for the multi-trillion dollar infrastructure plan.
  • The deadline for getting to a bipartisan agreement on the plan is the Memorial Day weekend, so senior Republicans and Democrats will not have long to reach an agreement if this deadline is to be respected.
