Republican senators outlined a $928 billion infrastructure proposal on May 27, in an effort to counter President Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion plan.

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), who has been involved in months of negotiations with the White House, told reporters at a press briefing that she thinks the counteroffer is a good bipartisan compromise. The new GOP offer includes some of Biden’s demands, while staying focused on core physical infrastructure.
