Read our privacy policy For three days, Democratic members of Congress have flurried about Capitol Hill scrambling to work on a Republican-thwarted spending bill to prevent the government from being shut down – all while President Joe Biden goes about his business. The president has reportedly taken a bit of a backseat role in confronting the chaos started by billionaire political advisor Elon Musk who, on Wednesday, demanded House Republicans vote against the bipartisan spending bill. President Joe Biden returned to the White House on Thursday evening after spending roughly two days in Delaware “I haven’t gotten any message from President Biden, or heard of anything that he’s saying,” California Representative Mark Takano told Politico on Thursday. Biden allies told Politico the president’s silence was a strategic move, designed to push the blame to Trump, Musk and other Republicans as the party prepares to take over the White House and Congress.
