with joe biden s history. the last time we went through this was in 2011 when he negotiated as vice president. he worked with jessie hems, strom thurman, probably not names he wants to emphasize today. this is hard wired in joe biden s dna, and this may be the last shot at bipartisanship. it was so interesting listening to the week before the deal was struck, right, progressives on capitol hill, they were so, so nervous. why isn t president biden going out and talking? and here was his reaction to that question, why is he not talking enough about this potential deal? one of the things that i hear some of you guys saying is, why didn t biden say what a good deal it is? why would biden say what a good deal it is before a vote? you think that s going to help me get it passed? no. not exactly his first rodeo. yeah. but it really it s a
