According to the Epoch Times:
Biden and McConnell will make a rare joint appearance in Kentucky on Jan. 4 to highlight the president’s $1.2 trillion spending plan.
Joined by Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown, Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, and Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, the two are to appear at a ceremony highlighting the $1.64 billion in funding recently awarded to the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project. The federal grant is part of a more than $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that was signed into law by Biden in 2021.
Biden’s bipartisanship blitz will come a day after Republicans retake a majority in the House on Jan. 3 following Republican gains in the November midterm elections.
When asked about the appearance, Biden told a reporter “We've been friends a long time. It's a giant state and there's a lot of money.”
This comes just weeks after McConnell further revealed how out-of-touch he is with the Republican base, declaring his belief that Ukraine funding is the number one priority of Republicans.
Heading into the midterms, polling showed that the biggest concerns of Americans were overwhelmingly related to rising food, gas, and house prices, shortages of goods, employers not being able to fill jobs, the stock market, and those looking for work being unable to find jobs. Concerns that we’re somehow not giving Ukraine (a country that over a third of Americans can’t locate on a map) enough money, didn’t make the cut.
And given how Biden has essentially branded Republican voters as terrorists, I can't imagine the bipartisanship is high up on their list of Republican priorities.
