Biden meets with Democrats as infrastructure negotiations continue

Anderson Cooper 360

President Biden met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill as negotiations over the Senate-passed infrastructure bill continue. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders are working to build support for the bill as progressives warn they won’t vote for the legislation before striking a deal with moderates on a spending package. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal is the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She tells Anderson Cooper she’s “confident” a deal will get done. Plus, new bodycam video reveals what Gabby Petito told police about a domestic dispute with fiancé Brian Laundrie. Rita Smith is the former executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She joins AC360 to discuss what she sees in the new bodycam video and says it’s “important for us to try to understand what didn’t go well in this call” because “we have to get this right.”
