Republicans to offer $650 billion infrastructure proposal as counter to Biden $2.2 trillion spending plan
Fox News
Republicans plan to propose their own infrastructure plan that would spend about $650 billion, a GOP source tells Fox News, as the Biden administration and congressional Democrats continue to push President Biden's $2 trillion-plus spending plan.
Fox News is told that the GOP plan will include money for broadband internet. Republicans have expressed doubts about the White House's sincerity on infrastructure negotiations, especially after the president spurned the efforts of several moderate GOP senators to negotiate over coronavirus relief. But the GOP bill could serve as an opening salvo in talks on the issue. A Republican source noted to Fox News that the $650 billion GOP proposal will be much larger than the about $300 billion infrastructure passed under former President Donald Trump.More Related News
