Republicans have spotted an opening and have spent recent months pounding Biden over soaring prices for gas and consumer goods, as well as cumbersome and frustrating supply chain snafus. “I’m sick of this stuff,” Biden said, expressing frustration at GOP talking points. “We have to talk about it, because the American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money. Simply not true.”however, Biden sought to put the past year’s difficulties behind him and encouraged Democrats to focus on their accomplishments. He said the COVID-19 relief measure was a hard-won success that they should tout to voters.
“Every trench dug, there’s a Republican standing there saying: ‘This is a great thing. Wonderful. We did it,’” Biden said. “Even Mitch McConnell, for God’s sake.”Some Republican members of Congress have praised initiatives made possible by the infrastructure law they opposed. Political analysts say they are not likely to be the last.
