WASHINGTON — 'Total chaos.'
President Joe Biden shakes hands with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., after speaking about his infrastructure agenda under the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge, Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2023, in Covington, Ky. Biden's infrastructure deal that was enacted in late 2021 will offer federal grants to Ohio and Kentucky to build a companion bridge that is intended to alleviate traffic on the Brent Spence Bridge, background at left.
The speakership fight seemed to validate Biden’s argument — made insistently in the months and weeks before last year’s midterms — that the Republican Party had fallen captive to a pro-Trump “MAGA” faction that was uninterested in governing. Inside the West Wing, staffers have been watching the GOP’s internecine fight with quiet relish, recognizing the scenes of intraparty acrimony as a kind of political gift that was best left to unspool on its own.
“We can work together. We can get things done. We can move the nation forward,” he said in his remarks at the Spence Bridge.
