Now, GOP lawmakers are grappling with the question of what exactly they would support, with some openly discussing a potential price tag far lower than what the White House is pushing.

Biden’s agenda hinges on new Senate push for bipartisan deals amid distrust between the parties
Major items on President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda hang in the balance this month, hinging on Republicans’ willingness to cut deals and whether Democrats agree to pare back their ambitions at the risk of causing a backlash on the left.
April is turning out to be a crucial month to fulfill Biden’s campaign pledge to work on a bipartisan basis in Washington, with groups of senators holding both informal and formal talks on a range of issues infrastructure, gun violence, a crackdown on China, police reform, the minimum wage and immigration policy.
