The White House plans on working with congressional Republicans on its $2 trillion infrastructure proposal, in contrast to the partisan COVID-19 relief bill, press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.
“The key thing here is that the president feels it’s important to propose how we would pay for this, so that’s what he’s going to do in his plan, but we’re also welcoming ideas,” Psaki said. “If Republicans have ideas, other Democrats have ideas on different ways to pay for this package, on different ways to achieve the goals, we’re very open to that. So I think that will be a part of the process as well.”
