Sen. Capito and Biden to talk again Monday on potential spending deal
Fox News
President Biden and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., talked Friday in their effort to forge a bipartisan deal on infrastructure spending and they've agreed to reconvene on Monday, the senator's office said.
"This afternoon, Senator Capito participated in a phone conversation with President Biden where they continued negotiating a bipartisan infrastructure package," Capito's office said in a statement on Friday. "During the call, the two discussed the Republican infrastructure framework and the Biden administration’s proposal. Senator Capito and President Biden agreed to connect again on Monday." Biden and Capito already had a "constructive" Oval Office meeting Wednesday, which prompted the Friday afternoon follow-up phone call. Heading into this week, their positions on total new spending were still hundreds of billions of dollars apart.More Related News
