Biden should go it alone

Now is the time to start thinking about the November 2022 midterm elections. Now is the time for Biden to show proof that Democrats can make government work by breaking the Republican Senate's paralyzing hold on the country's future. Biden's agenda has zero chance if he is counting on Republicans to show any true commitment to bipartisanship. “One hundred percent of our focus is on stopping [Biden’s] new administration,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said last month. Take McConnell at his word. That’s why Biden cannot afford to waste another minute praying for the GOP’s better angels to fly in and McConnell to suddenly endorse a compromise on the infrastructure bill.
