The harsh reality is that even though the House passed the bill on the 27th by a vote of 219 to 212, all of the votes were from Democrats and none were from Republicans, apparently contrary to the Biden camp’s claims.
In recent weeks, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain has sent out messages that the Biden bailout package is cross-party, not that any Republican has signed on to support it, but that public opinion is so; Klain has repeatedly cited polling in the face of criticism; according to him, polls show the bailout package has the support of most Republicans, even outside of Washington, D.C. The poll, according to him, shows that the bailout has the support of a majority of Republicans, even some Republican mayors and officials outside of Washington.
Until earlier this week, the White House’s director of digital strategy, Rob Flaherty, was citing polling firm Morning Consult’s findings that public support was 76 percent, including 60 percent of self-identified Republicans.
Now the bill is not supported by Republicans in the House of Representatives, but is also expected to fail to get Republican support in the Senate, highlighting the extent of the divide between the two parties, not as united as Biden said the country.
In a recent interview with CNN, Biden was asked how to heal a nation torn apart, and he also cited polls saying that strong support for his bailout plan from Republican voters showed that the country was “not as divided as we thought.
Unfortunately, Biden and his team have repeatedly cited poll results, but still can not improve the fact that Republicans do not support, and even the Pew Research Center (Pew Research Center) recent poll pointed out that a large number of Republican voters still think Biden is in the election defeat.
Biden used the word “unity” eight times in his inaugural address, but House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) criticized the Democratic Party for practicing one-party rule from the passage of the bailout process.
Bill Hoagland, a former Senate Republican official who now serves on the Bipartisan Policy Center, argued that Washington’s traditional definition of bipartisanship refers to winning the other party’s vote in Congress, rather than getting support from the polls.
But Jantzen, an aide to former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), argues that it will never be possible to get the support of Senate Minority Leader McConnell and others to define bipartisanship, so it is only right to define it based on public opinion and public sentiment.
