'The fact of the matter is if we can't get a consensus nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive,' Biden said on Monday.
Barack Obama's White House deputy chief of staff Alyssa Mastromonaco slammed Joe Biden's latest pitch for bipartisanship, saying that some people just can't be shamed into working together.
The 2020 Democratic hopeful went on to say that there are"certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight" to get things done and that"you can shame people into doing things the right way." In recent weeks, Biden has been pitching himself to Democratic primary voters as a president who would be able to work with Republicans to accomplish legislative change—an idea that seems increasingly unlikely during the deeply partisan Trump era.
