Re the Sunday night GOP Senate/Biden meeting:
Interesting from a source in Klain's ofc:
"The president was polite, but every time he spoke on substantive matters he was telling GOP why they were wrong..his politeness shouldn't be confused [by GOP] for a lack of conviction.

"He explained why they were wrong @ schools, @ helping middle class families, @ check size & @ leaving out state & local $. At the end of the meeting he said to them we are very far apart & I haven't heard anything tonight that suggests we are moving in the same direction"

Another WH aide:
"GOP came to the meeting in good faith, but it appears they'd rather play the blame game than have a substantive conversation..

GOP were good with $160B for state/local funding when Trump was pres & that # now is zero. If they want to have a serious conversation @ a relief pkg..let's start with how much in local funding they were willing to give Trump"

Word is Biden promised WH would f/u on some technical questions GOP had. He sent the info at 11am Tues morning, by the end of yesterday GOP had still not responded
GOP aren't serious
And Biden knows it now
