Will Republicans work with Biden? Probably not.
Republicans love to grandstand. All Senators do, especially Chuck Schumer. For Biden to succeed in passing his program, he needs leaders in both parties who want to use the Senate for something other than seeking electoral advantage. The House can be taken for granted because there is no benefit from Pelosi and the White House agreeing on issue.
The action will be between the White House and the Republican leader. The next House would be the Greek Chorus in our national drama. Expect transition in leadership in the next few years.
Will McConnell have the moral courage to do deals with Biden or continue to obstruct. Why did he obstruct Obama? Was it partisanship or personal animus (or both)? Will he be able to deliver his own caucus to any deal with Biden? We will know soon, although it may be better to have Senator Thune become the voice of the Republican Senators. They need a new look.
