Is the White House wise to the GOP’s infrastructure ruse?

Second, the president seems to see through the Republicans’ posturing, too. On Thursday, Biden told reporters that “if, like last time, they come in with one-fourth or one-fifth of what I’m asking and say, ‘That’s a final offer,’ then … it’s a no-go for me.” Given Dunn’s language, it seems that Biden officials are leaving themselves plenty of room for when Republicans’ pretenses at negotiation break down. The result? Once again Republicans will be left in the cold while the country recovers — and it’s all their fault.
