Democrats are considering two ways to pass their Infrastructure Priorities with or without republican support. We had a very good meeting we got into quite a bit of detail. Were all on the same page. Both tracks, the bipartisan track and the Budget Reconciliation Track are proceeding at pace, and we hope to have voting on both them in the house and the senate in july. The bottom line, the

She is, the breakout star so far of week one of the Biden Administration. And its not unusual because the Press Secretary is the one whos out there in front of the camera more than anyone other than the president.
