Psaki says White House will work with GOP on infrastructure bill as Dems prep to jam through on partisan vote

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the White House plans to negotiate with Republicans over President Biden's infrastructure proposals, even as Democrats in Congress are readying to jam it through without any GOP votes. 

"We're welcoming ideas," Psaki said. "If Republicans have ideas, other Democrats have ideas on different ways to pay for this package, on different ways to achieve the goals, we're very open to that. So I think that will be a part of the process as well." Psaki also said the White House had been in touch "with the chairs and ranking members, Democrats and Republicans," in Congress, "because having this conversation is an important part of what we're doing."
