In @PunchbowlNews this AM: ☀️Inside the W.H.’s infrastructure strategy
This is a massive week for President Joe Biden’s quest to cut a bipartisan infrastructure deal. And we expect the president to lean in and try to move the process along.

@PunchbowlNews Here’s news we have after relentlessly bugging people on Father’s Day (sorry!):
→ 1st: Tthe WH truly seems to believe a deal with the bipartisan group of 20 senators is doable and perhaps even likely. We can’t tell how much of this is sunny optimism and how much is reality

@PunchbowlNews → The White House’s main focus this week is to try to figure out the right mix of offsets so the bipartisan group of senators will back off its insistence on hiking the gas tax and instituting a tax on miles driven by electric vehicles.
These fees seem to be red lines for the administration, and the White House has made suggestions to the group on different ways to drop these provisions while continuing to pay for the entire package.
@PunchbowlNews → We got the sense yesterday that there will be a White House meeting with senators this week.
@PunchbowlNews On the House side, the Democrats will begin preparing to meld a $574 billion surface transportation bill coming out of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee with some water-related legislation from the Energy and Commerce Committee.
@PunchbowlNews This will head to the floor next week, delivering on @SpeakerPelosi’s promise to pass an infrastructure package by the July 4th recess.
