Biden to speak with GOP Sen. Capito as hopes for bipartisan infrastructure plan dim
CNN
President Joe Biden on Tuesday will speak with Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, the lead Republican negotiator on infrastructure, as prospects appear to be dimming for a bipartisan agreement.
The call, originally scheduled for Monday, between the President and the West Virginia GOP senator is now set to take place later Tuesday afternoon, an official told CNN. Tuesday's conversation is expected to be a final chance for Capito to speak with Biden before he leaves for his first international trip to Europe. A White House official said staff-level talks will continue while Biden is out of the country, but the President is not expected to be engaged in the discussions after Tuesday's call.More Related News
