The president also criticized congressional Republicans, saying they needed to “show a little spine” and take up a bipartisan border agreement in the Senate.

“You know and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen,” Biden said. “So instead of playing politics with the issue, why don’t we just get together and get it done?”

Biden touted the bipartisan border bill as “a win for the American people,” calling it a “truly bipartisan initiative.” He called on the Senate to reconsider the bill, asking senators to “set politics aside” and for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to put the bill on the floor.

“We need to act,” Biden said, adding that Republicans in Congress needed to “show a little spine.”

    It doesn’t hurt Biden at all. It won’t change the opinions of anyone planning to vote for him.

    The only thing it will do is cause further division on the right. A right-winger now has to choose whether being anti-immigration or anti-Biden is more important.

      Biden is not trump.

      Dem voters are not Republican voters.

      There is a shit ton of human variation and just because some stupid shit work on republicans, doesn’t mean it will work on everyone.

      If it did, we’d all be republicans.

      That’s a very basic piece of human psychology. Unfortunately it’s a young field and the people in their 70s and up running the Dem party we’re already middle aged and done learning before we figured it out and proved it with research

      One of the many many reasons we shouldn’t be trusting wealthy geriatric people to run our nation.
