[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Joe Biden remains committed to his goal of getting bipartisan support for his $4 trillion infrastructure proposal, and on Wednesday, those efforts continued in a meeting with Congress' four most powerful leaders.

The "Big Four" leaders in Congress - Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell - joined the president in the Oval Office to discuss a potential compromise on Biden's infrastructure plan. Upon conclusion of the 90-minute meeting, Pelosi said in a press conference that she could "absolutely" see a bill being brought to the floor by July 4.

"The president has his vision," she said. "The Congress will work its will. In any event, I felt optimistic about our ability to pass such a bill, and more optimistic now about being able to do so in a bipartisan way."

Schumer also told reporters after the meeting that the group of four would "explore the places where we could agree and come to a bipartisan agreement on."

3. McConnell made his intentions abundentally clear

McConnell has no intention of supporting any bill, for any purpose supported by President Biden.

I'm reading Schumer's statement as code, we'll give McConnell a little time, but then when times up, it's up.

We'll take it from there.. Have to show the country they're trying to be reasonable and reaching across the aisle, even though it's a an act of futility.
