President Joe Biden’s efforts to approve a $ 1.9 trillion loan package create a dilemma, between his desire to find a bipartisan agreement and the desire to complete his promises in the midst of an urgent crisis.
His good bipartisan side has a characteristic that defines his political career, first as a negotiator in the Senate, as a legislative negotiator being vice president in Barack Obama’s governing body and finally during the 2020 campaign he took over the presidency.
For the magnitude of the multiple crises that plagued the nation, along with the lessons learned by the Democrats during four years of Republican obstruction during the Obama presidency, the Biden balance will slow down the speedy adoption of the resolution.
“He says so much to Republicans as to Democrats that my preference is to work together. But there must be a choice between helping people in the stadiums who are so supportive as to be willing to negotiate or make concessions in a project at the height of the crisis, the election is easy, ”said Biden the four. “Help the stadiums that are now friendly”.
Hasta now, the governor has advanced in two parallel parallels.
One of them was a public show of cruising the political breach, with bipartisan rhetoric and an invitation to the Republican senators to the White House. His response was to propose a package with 1 trillion dollars less than what Biden wanted.
At the same time, Biden insists on the need for a package of help to prevent the death of a pandemic. The governing party has called on Democrats to prepare for solo elections, to prepare a plan that combines funds to fight the virus and the vacancies with money to implement a progressive agenda that includes a minimum federal wage increase.
However, we can exclude a third option: that at least one of the Republicans supports the big package, which is that there will be a bizarre bipartisanism. But the most likely is that the White House will have to choose between the two extremes.
It was necessary to send a clear signal about Biden’s priorities and send a cartridge to navigate the successful and deeply polarized Washington.
