President Joe Biden loves to praise himself as a compromiser. He has a real opportunity to try and broker a deal in the Senate to get Ukraine aid money in exchange for real border security. Why isn’t he seizing it?
Joe Biden loves to tout his bona fides as a bipartisan compromiser during his days as a senator.
So why on earth, with a chance as president for real compromise on the border crisis and aid to Ukraine and Israel, is he flat-out refusing it?
