Republicans plan to unveil an infrastructure package that excludes items like funding for elder care to counter President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion proposal, several GOP senators said Wednesday.

The large Democrat package would allocate $400 billion for the care of the elderly and disabled, among other provisions that would not be included in typical infrastructure bills. Republicans want to slash the total amount by narrowing the focus to building and improving roads, bridges, and other traditional infrastructure pieces.
