President Biden "Eager" to See Republicans' Infrastructure Plan

The Biden administration is eager to receive a counter proposal from Republicans after their previous offer was rejected. Press Secretary Jen Psaki indicates that Republicans need to make significant progress. The last Republican counter offer increased by $50 billion, while the Biden administration reduced its proposal from $2.3 trillion to $1.7 trillion. Both sides remain $1 trillion apart. The White House is open to further engagement and discussions, awaiting the next Republican proposal. Senator Shelley Moore Capito's office suggests that the gap between the two parties is wider than before.
