New negotiations bring a whole new host of questions about how a deal on what has become a politically divisive package might be struck and what that deal might look like.

jets off to Europe to attend to international matters, a coalition of Senate Democrats and Republicans are huddled up at the Capitol charting what they hope will be a new path forward on infrastructure.

But as those talks faltered, the White House signaled it was putting its faith in the efforts of a separate bipartisan group. This core group includes Sinema, Manchin and Cassidy as well as Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Jon Tester, R-Mont., Mark Warner, D-Va., Jeanne Shaheen, R-N.H., and Mitt Romney, R-Utah.

They've not yet reached a top-line figure, and multiple members of the bipartisan negotiating group declined to speculate on what it could ultimately be. But the reality is that these negotiations face an uphill battle because both parties have vastly different visions for what they want an infrastructure package to do, and the bill is going to require 60 votes to pass the Senate.

Both parties also have red lines on how to fund the package. Democrats flatly reject any fees on those making less than $400,000 a year. Republicans reject any sort of tax hikes.
