For the past two days, Biden has ramped up talks with a separate group of senators that includes moderate Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia as well as Republican Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Rob Portman of Ohio and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. He spoke to them Tuesday.
"He urged them to continue their work with other Democrats and Republicans to develop a bipartisan proposal that he hopes will be more responsive to the country’s pressing infrastructure needs," Psaki said.
According to Psaki, Biden plans to stay in contact with the senators by phone while he is in Europe, where he will take part in the G7 Summit in the United Kingdom and a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva next week.
