Dropped significantly as -- because of all the talks that have been brokered through the white house over the last few days. its no longer at the $3.5 trillion that they were initially looking at. its now been in the low to mid $2 trillion range. of course that number is very fluid. details havent been hashed out. nobody has agreed to anything concretely. important to note there that its not $3.5. its not 1.5 as of these conversations that have been happening this week. so there was a lot of noi...

With president biden and others, so theres that, but the question is this enough to satisfy progressives? speaker please and leader schumer wanted to get at least some kind of top line from manchin and sinema and take this to progressives. we have a top line. we can go forward making these negotiations, lets vote on this infrastructure bill today but like you said thats a much larger gap than you think they wren visioning. >> and back to manu raju in the cluster of reporters outside the capitol....
