At the Jen Psaki press conference a reporter asked how come Biden is meeting with republicans [View all]

first, but no Democrats, and that Democrats are complaining about that. Jen Psaki asked the reporter which Democrats are upset about this, and the reporter hemmed and hawed and said no one specifically, but he hears it in the hallway. I call BS on that reporter. Jen Psaki also made it clear that Joe Biden is in close contact with the Democratic leaders, and will be meeting with them also
