And if there isn't a denial by Dems and Reps, then I'm going to go ahead and say it's true. This is exactly how information of every negotiation first gets out to the public.
Democrats never claim he made a specific proposal, and Republicans claim he never made a specific proposal. his aids floated the idea that he might be thinking about offering an unspecified "something" that was "probably" to do with the rate of growth in benefits (the mildest of reforms) when it came to Social Security, but his left flank exploded an no actual proposal has been forthcoming. Instead they took cuts agreed on by the Biden group off the table and insisted that Republicans "buy them back" with tax increases.
:roll: what a joke.
