The Washington Post: Inside
Biden's Decision To Go It Alone With Democrats On Coronavirus Relief
Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.), one of Biden’s closest confidants and a
longtime colleague, said that while the president cares deeply about
bipartisanship, he won’t let that impulse prevent him from helping Americans
struggling amid the pandemic. “Who Joe is and who he’s been for decades is a
Senate man, a person who wants to see the best in others, who if it’s at all
possible wants to reach a reasonable, principled compromise,” Coons said. “But
he’s perfectly clear that if he spends months and months chasing Republican
partners who never emerge, he’s doing a real disservice to a country in
crisis.” (Parker, Viser and Kim, 2/7)
