Biden, GOP’s Capito End Infrastructure Talks Without a Deal (2)

President Joe Biden ended talks with Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito on an infrastructure plan on Tuesday without a deal, after failing to reach agreement on the scope of spending or how to pay for it.

The talks concluded after a brief phone call between the president and the West Virginia senator. Biden will instead turn his attention to a bipartisan group of senators working on their own infrastructure plan, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.
