The rebuke comes after the failed round of negotiations. In a statement issued by the White House, press secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden was let down by the GOP counter-proposal package.
"From Day One, the President has been clear that he has two red lines: he will not raise taxes on Americans who make under $400,000 and he will not accept inaction as the outcome," Psaki said in the statement, adding that the President has spoken to other House and Senate colleagues in the hopes of achieving a bipartisan proposal by July.
