Upton tells WSJM News he and several members of the Problem Solvers Caucus discussed with Klain what it will take to get a bipartisan plan approved.
“It was a bipartisan meeting,” Upton said. “We had eight members of Congress, four Republicans and four Democrats. We talked about bipartisanship, what it should have, and the importance of trying to get something done in a bipartisan way that sets the stage for the next number of months.”
