President Biden is expected to give his response today to a bipartisan infrastructure plan that has been gaining support from Senators.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is one of the 21 senators in favor of the new lower-cost plan. 

"I think the difference between this negotiation and the earlier negotiation is that we're willing to add more new money to infrastructure in this package and I am hopeful that the White House and Joe Biden stay involved, we can get there," said Graham. "I will just say this: 'President Biden, if you want an infrastructure bill for a trillion dollars, it's there for the taking.'"
