At a press conference held at the White House on Friday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the White House\u2019s new offer was made in the spirit of finding common ground. Despite claims of cooperation, she still grilled conservatives for not going far enough to address Biden\u2019s priorities when it comes to infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n<p>After the announcement, Senate Republicans released a statement saying that the White House\u2019s new proposal was still well above the range of what could pass through Congress with bipartisan support. While the updated infrastructure plan is around $600 billion less than the original, it is still more than $1 trillion higher than the Republicans $568 billion offer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats&#8217; infrastructure proposal is just another $2-trillion progressive wishlist.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican plan has real solutions for real infrastructure, with major investments in roads, bridges, water, and broadband\u2014in total, an investment of $460 billion. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pi6xnjERcx\">https:\/\/t.co\/pi6xnjERcx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1396126006218461187?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite Psaki praising the White House staff\u2019s negotiating style, the GOP statement suggested far less progress could be made now that discussions were being outsourced to White House staff instead of being handled by Joe Biden directly. Further complicating any efforts to find common ground, Psaki confirmed that Biden has every intention to raise corporate tax rates in order to pay for the package, which was originally an idea Republicans had staunchly and repeatedly opposed.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/cnn-anchor-chris-cuomo-apologizes-for-advising-brother-andrew-cuomo-amid-numerous-scandals\/\">CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo Apologizes For Advising Brother Andrew Cuomo Amid Numerous Scandals<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 FEBRUARY 02: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki answers reporters\u2019 questions during the daily news briefing at the White House February 02, 2021 in Washington, DC.
