this morning. tracking where negotiations stand. and the hunt for the ever-elusive bipartisanship that joe biden is looking for. let s get to the white house and cnn s jas men wright. jas men, good morning. there was a chance for a bipartisan breakthrough for president biden with the meeting with shelli more capito this week. reporter: that s right, boris, is comes at a critical time. these two sides are far apart on whatever president biden can proceed with whatever priority before midterms before a fight before congress. yesterday, president biden rejected the latest offer from republicans that totaled about $150 billion. and included that $50 billion increase for new spending, making that total 300. but that fell short of what president biden wanted, right? he wanted $1.4 trillion for this bill.
there are realities of time lines including the fact that congressman defazio is leading the markup of ski components with the white house jobs plan next week. key infrastructure components where there is a big overlap. so, boris and amara, if both sides feel like they cannot bridge that very large gap, the next question really is, you know, who is going to walk away from this deal first. because we know that both sides, democrats and republicans want to look like they put in their hardest effort. specifically for president biden and democrats who know that the moderate democrats are going to want a deal and they re going to want to see that effort. yeah. is there a will for some kind of compromise. jas men wright, thank you so much for your reporting. all right. let s turn now to capitol hill now to cnn s daniella diaz. yeah, president biden is kind of in this darned if you do, darned if you don t situation. it s nature just the republicans
