On The Money: Biden, Senate GOP take step toward infrastructure deal as other plans hit speed bumps

Senate GOP to give Biden infrastructure counteroffer next week: Senate Republicans will give President Biden a revised infrastructure offer next week after a sit down at the White House on Thursday.

Biden met with a group of 10 Republicans, led by Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), where they discussed two of the biggest sticking points: What qualifies as infrastructure and how to pay for it.

Republicans are planning to give Biden their revised counteroffer early next week, and didn't rule out meeting again with Biden.
"He wanted it pretty quickly," Capito said. "I made it clear this was not a stagnant offer from us, and I didn't want it to be perceived that way."

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said that he also expected Republicans to come back with "more specifics" early next week on "on our idea to pay for things and further the list that we talked about with him."
