Republicans plan to send Biden infrastructure counteroffer worth nearly $1 trillion
The Breakdown: Negotiations underway for Biden’s infrastructure plan
Replay Video UP NEXT Senate Republicans intend to send President Joe Biden a nearly $1 trillion counterproposal on infrastructure spending Thursday, the latest attempt to make progress toward a bipartisan compromise just days before the president s deadline. Biden has for weeks said that he needs to see significant progress on an infrastructure deal by Memorial Day. According to the group of Republican senators crafting the new offer, it will be the closest Republicans have yet come to Biden s initial proposal.

Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said. This is going to be a very good offer and it moves in his direction.
