President JoeBiden builds bridges with LeaderMcConnell in Kentucky amid House speaker saga
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell met Biden at the airport and sat for his remarks just south of Cincinnati. The president thanked McConnell for his support of bipartisan legislation."Mitch, it's great to be with you," Biden said."I asked permission if I could say something nice about him. I said I'd campaign for him or against him, whichever helped him the most."
All of the speeches are about bridges that will be renovated or replaced, in Biden's case the Brent Spence Bridge, which carries traffic on I-75 and I-71 across the Ohio River. "We can work together," Biden said."We can get things done. We can move the nation forward if we just drop a little bit of our egos and focus on what is needed for the country."
