Two top Biden aides are declining to repeat that enhanced unemployment benefits are not encouraging people to stay home, as Biden stated clearly last month. Instead Deese highlights they are “temporary” and Psaki says governors have “every right” to end enhanced benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Pence says he's spoken to Trump "many times" since they left office but, "I don't know if we will ever see eye to eye on that day." Adds he's proud of their accomplishments & won't let Democrats & "their allies in the media" use "one tragic day" to discredit millions of Americans — PolitiTweet.org

WH says they aren’t setting any deadlines. “It's an important moment in the timeline,” Psaki says of Monday, noting how Pelosi wants to move forward in June and Schumer wants to move in July. “Those are some realities in the timeline.” — PolitiTweet.org

Jen Psaki says the White House does not view Monday as a deadline for a major breakthrough in infrastructure talks. Transportation Secretary Buttigieg previously said the admin saw June 7th as when they wanted “a clear direction” on where talks were going. — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

Asked if infrastructure talks are taking too long if they stretch into July, Commerce Sec Gina Raimondo tells CNN "probably" but it "depends where we are." She says Republicans asked for more time amid Memorial Day deadline. "We want to get something done far sooner than July." — PolitiTweet.org

"Ultimately the United States will have the authority to say the doses are going here as opposed to there," national security adviser Jake Sullivan says about US working with COVAX, the international vaccine initiative, to distribute vaccines. — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

The other 6 million will go to Canada, Mexico, India and South Korea. This means the administration is partnering with COVAX, the international vaccine initiative, to distribute vaccines, but the US is also making some decisions unilaterally. — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

Today the administration will announce how they are distributing 25 million vaccines globally. About 19 million of those will go via COVAX to: -- 6 million doses for Latin America and the Caribbean --7 million for South and Southeast Asia, -- 5 million for Africa — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

Looks like the White House is going to announce its global vaccination strategy at 11 a.m. Both Jeff Zients and Jake Sullivan, who took the lead on crafting the distribution plan, are expected to brief reporters then, per a new announcement. — PolitiTweet.org

One detail here: Once these doses do start going out globally, AstraZeneca won't be included for now. Those 60 million doses have not yet cleared a safety and efficacy review by the FDA. Biden has said he wants them out by July Fourth. https://t.co/FF8Nxpj6Pd — PolitiTweet.org

Biden still wants new tax increases to pay for most of the plan, which Republicans have rejected. The latest Republican offer also had about $260 billion in new funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

In his meeting w/ Sen. Capito, President Biden offered to bring down his infrastructure price tag to $1 trillion in new spending, per @mkraju. Another source says any new $$ would be on top of a baseline of $400 billion over five years. They're scheduled to talk again tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org
