President Joe Biden told Jimmy Fallon that the Republican Party is preventing his “Build Back Better” agenda from being passed. Speaking via video conference on “The Tonight Show,” Fallon asked Biden whether his $2 trillion social spending package would pass the Senate. “Well, I hope it will, though you know I don’t have a single Republican vote right now to pass it, so it’s gonna be tough” Biden said, prompting a grimace from Fallon. “But I think we can get it done, and if we don’t, I’m gonna keep at it until we get it done.” Fallon then remarked that he saw Republican and Democratic politicians in the crowd at an event at the Kennedy Center recently. “Everyone was laughing at jokes and listening to great music — everyone seemed cordial and nice, and I go, ‘This seems like this should be much easier to get along with everybody,’” he said. Biden blamed former President Donald Trump, saying that his influence on the Republican Party has made it tougher for Republicans and Democrats to get along.
