President Biden is not yet satisfied with the Republican offer on infrastructure after another session, this one by phone, with Sen. Shelley Capito on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. Psaki said that the West Virginia Republican, the lead Senate GOP negotiator, had presented a new offer with a $50 billion increase. « The President expressed his gratitude for her effort and goodwill but also indicated that the current offer did not meet his objectives to grow the economy, tackle the climate crisis, and create new jobs, » the press secretary said in a statement. « He indicated to Senator Capito that he would continue to engage a number of Senators in both parties in the hopes of achieving a more substantial package.
