Sen. Capito: Biden 'missed opportunity' to gain 20 Republicans' support in failed infrastructure talks
Fox News
West Virginia Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito joined "Special Report" on Tuesday to react to the White House breaking off bipartisan infrastructure bill negotiations with her.
"[W]e offered the president basically what he asked us to do the first time we met with him, which was $1 trillion over 8 years, including baseline spending, and that it wouldn’t include a tax increase – and that was our red line, not his," she said. "The last offer that I got from the president had four tax increases in it. And it also was much closer in numbers than what the White House is putting out right now. So I’m disappointed with that." Host Bret Baier noted the White House claimed Biden never agreed to that initial offer, which Capito maintained was indeed extended.More Related News
