Biden to host bipartisan talks on infrastructure next week
President Biden next week will host congressional lawmakers from both parties at the White House as he seeks to rally support for his proposed infrastructure package.
Biden on Monday will meet with Democrats and Republicans to discuss the American Jobs Plan, a roughly $2.3 trillion proposal to invest in the nation's infrastructure through roads, bridges, climate-friendly industries and workers in the care economy.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki did not provide a list of attendees during Friday's press briefing but said it would include members of both chambers of Congress.
"Our focus has long been working with Democrats and Republicans. That is the president's objective," Psaki said. "And obviously the close margins [in Congress] make that a necessity. So when he is inviting members here, he's inviting not just one wing of a party, not just one wing even of his own party, he wants to have the discussion about how we can work together to address our nation's outdated infrastructure and rebuilding our workforce for the future."

He has to at least go through the motions and attempt to talk to the other side. I don't think he's going to get jack shit from the Republicans however.
