President Joe Biden met Monday with a bipartisan group of lawmakers as he begins what will be a weeks-long push to win congressional support for his nearly $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan.
“I’m prepared to negotiate as to the extent of the infrastructure project as well as how we pay for it," Biden said at the start of his Oval Office meeting.
As lawmakers return to the Capitol for the first time in two weeks, Biden’s plan already faces opposition from Republicans and even some members of his own party, and negotiations over the coming month or so will be crucial to determining the size, scope and ultimate fate of the proposal.
