With a fractured Republican party readying to take the reins in the House of Representatives, the White House is doing something it resisted early in office: taking on the more extreme members of the opposition party
The Republicans’ narrow midterms win in the House has put prominent conservatives atop major committees poised to launch an onslaught of GOP-led investigations into the administration. The third presidential candidacy of Donald Trump has also provided the White House with fodder to warn about MAGA Republican figures taking on positions of prominence.
Still, Biden has repeatedly declared he wants to work across the aisle when possible. He notably took a pass when asked about that same dinner, telling reporters: “You don’t want to hear what I think.” “As President Biden has said about ultra MAGA officials’ dangerous conspiracy theories, gaslighting, and violent rhetoric, we need to ‘be honest with each other and with ourselves’ that ‘too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal.’ And ‘we, the people, must say this is not who we are,’” Bates said in a statement.
Whereas in January of last year, then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she would not speak of Greene “in this briefing room,” the current White House comms shop has showed little such restraint.
In Philadelphia in September, Biden stood in front of a blood red backdrop and said “the soul of the nation” was on the ballot. He took square aim at Republicans who refused to honor 2020 election results and who have espoused violence as a legitimate means of political discourse.
