Biden pushed his $1.9 trillion covid relief bill through the Senate with the support of all 50 Democrats and nary a Republican, yet later declared it a resounding bipartisan triumph.

I think the resounding bipartisan triumph came from the Democrats and Independents combining forces to make the 50 vote tie that required the VP to cast the deciding vote.

He is talking about bipartisan support from the American people including, of course, from Republican voters. If you've seen the polls regarding support for the bill...it's the absolute truth.

The tie-breaking vote was never cast as one Republican missed the vote due to a family emergency. The final vote was 50-49.

When he spoke of bi-partisinship, he was referring to the support of the populace, not the morons in the Senate.
Polling showed that Conservative Republicans supported the bill at 55% and Democrats and 72%. It's the GOP that's missing the boat here and voting against the wishes of their own supporters.
How long do you think they can do that without losing voters?

Of cource the public was in favor of a covid relief bill/ So was I. But that bill was NOT a covid relief bill as less than 10% went for covid relief. Over 90% went to democrat pork. Pelosi's tunnel ans Schumers bridge. That bill was a Biden (his puppet masters) scam that pissed away billions

So you believe that a President should ignore the will of the people?
Funny. I thought that was who elected him.
Meanwhile back at Mara Lago Trump is calling McConnel and SOB and an idiot.

McConnell is. I thought you told us that. And you always agree with Trump.

The only reason for the false polling numbers was the wording of the questions and the overall "topic". Yes, people want an actual covid relief bill. What we didn't remotely get in the pork pie that was passed.
