Senate Republicans signal openness to working with Biden
Senate Republicans are signaling they are open to cutting deals with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden if he wins the White House in November.
GOP senators — adding the caveat that they are supportive of President Trump — say there is room for agreement with a Biden administration, particularly on areas like trade or immigration, if they hold on to the Senate majority in November.
Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican, noted that typically new administrations get a honeymoon period and a divided government could force compromises.
“There would be opportunities. ... The one thing about having a divided government, it forces people to come together and some of the best and biggest accomplishments in our history have been accomplished during a time of divided government,” Thune said.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said that Biden himself likely wouldn’t be the roadblock to cutting deals with Republicans but rather “his Cabinet compromised of Treasury Secretary [Elizabeth] Warren and the influences of AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and Bernie Sanders.”
