will not make it a story about how he gets things done, it will be about how he was unable to bring "Unity".

Because Democrats lose when they win and the GOP win when they lose.

And the media also loves the GOP narrative on things.

And of course, with 'unity" it's all on the Dems to compromise for it and the GOP bare no responsibility.

I think Biden's statements on this were good.
