If Joe Biden wants to be about the only President in history to absolutely none of his agenda passed [View all]

than he will stick to the norms even while republicans wont.
If he is willing to swallow a shit sandwich and watch the Supreme Court destroy the Affordable Care Act which he has vowed to protect. He will stick to the norms.
