Biden meets with bipartisan group on $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, saying he's open to negotiat
For the first time since unveiling his $2.3 trillion infrastructure package two weeks ago, President Joe Biden met with a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Monday to discuss the proposal.
Eight lawmakers, including Chair of the Senate Committee on Climate, Science, and Transportation Maria Cantwell and Rep. Don Young of Alaska, joined Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the Oval Office to kick off bipartisan discussions.
"I'm prepared to negotiate as to the extent of my infrastructure package, as well as how we pay for it," Biden told reporters after the meeting.
He also dismissed the idea that the meeting was just "window dressing," and said he was "prepared to negotiate as to the extent of the infrastructure project as well as how we pay for it," citing broadband and clean-water access as important parts of his definition of infrastructure.
