Biden addresses House Democrats concerned about political landscape

LA Times  

President Biden told House Democrats on Friday that the party needs to better communicate its accomplishments to the American people, warning that Republican majorities in the next Congress would leave him with nothing but a veto pen. “They are President Biden gas prices.” Acknowledging that higher prices are crimping family budgets, Biden said it wasn’t fair to blame his administration for inflation’s rise. “Without one single, solitary Republican vote.” Turning to the bipartisan infrastructure law, the president acknowledged that Democrats got “some Republican friends to help” but noted that only 13 House Republicans voted for the legislation despite many in the party later touting its benefits on the campaign trail. “Even Mitch McConnell, for God’s sake.” Politics Republicans who voted against Biden’s infrastructure bill are touting its projects anyway Some Republican members of Congress have praised initiatives made possible by the infrastructure law they opposed. “You tell them what the American Recovery Act was, they look at you like, ‘What are you talking about?’ Understandably.” Biden came to Philadelphia as the closer for House Democrats’ issues conference, what was scheduled to be a three-day retreat outside Washington, but was cut short by late votes in the House on Wednesday.
