The American president said he was “ready to work with the Republicans when possible.”
A victory at the end of the suspense. President Joe Biden on Saturday congratulated Republican Kevin McCarthy on his election to the House of Representatives, calling on him to “govern responsibly and in the interests of Americans.”
“I am willing to work with Republicans when possible, and voters have made it clear that they expect Republicans to be willing to work with me as well,” he said in a statement. It is time to govern responsibly,” he added.
By dint of negotiations, the group of Trumpists who paralyzed the nomination of the fifty-year-old from California finally gave in. They put an end to a mess in Congress, unprecedented in more than 160 years which prefigures very agitated debates in the American Congress during the next two years. But not without a final last ditch.
Without controlling both chambers – which had been the case since his inauguration in January 2021, although with a very slim majority in the Senate – Joe Biden can no longer hope to pass major legislation.
