Republicans are divided over how big they want to go on infrastructure, even as talks move forward with the White House.
GOP senators are united in their view that President Biden’s $4.1 trillion package is a nonstarter, along with any efforts to undo parts of the 2017 tax-cut bill. But what’s less clear is their top line for a counter proposal, and how they would pay for it.
“No, we’re just starting,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) when asked if there was a number that unified Republicans.
“I think everything’s on the table, with the exception of the 2017 tax bill. …The first thing we need to figure out is what infrastructure means and what the number is,” she added about how to pay for a package.
