“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.”

    Same day he threatened muslims with Trump if they didnt vote for him, he was offering deals with the person he claims to vehemently oppose.

      Trump already inserted himself into the process when he got his cronies in Congress to kill the border deal.

      All Biden did was step up and ask him to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

      Knowing of course that Trump has no intention of being part of the solution.

      This then gives Biden the opportunity to say later, in a debate, or in an ad campaign:

      “Hey Jack, we gave you a chance to do the right thing on the border crisis, you rejected it, that’s on you. Get your idiots in congress to stop blocking the progress.”
