Biden and McConnell to Make Joint Appearance

“President Joe Biden and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell will make a rare joint appearance on Wednesday at a bridge in Kentucky in a display of bipartisanship that offers a guide to how the White House hopes to govern in months to come,” Reuters reports.

Washington Post: “Wednesday’s event also highlights a new turn in the long and complicated history between Biden and McConnell, who served together in the Senate for decades and were occasional negotiating partners during the Obama administration — on opposing ends of the political spectrum but not always at odds. There is a clear political incentive for the president to appear with a Republican viewed with hostility by many in the Democratic Party.”
