Reporter: “No, I think of tens of millions of people are concerned about H.R. 1 and budget reconciliation and going with a 50-vote threshold. I think that was a concern.”
Psaki: “I’m not sure the polling bears that out. But I will say that the President’s view is that bringing the country together is bringing the American people together. So, when I say he is — he is focused on re- — bringing — you know, bringing people together, bringing Democrats and Republicans together, he is not talking about solving bipartisanship in the — this ZIP Code here. //
The short version of her answer was that “bipartisanship” to the Biden administration has nothing to do with bringing both parties together in Washington, D.C. to get legislation hammered out and passed. It has to do with the White House’s perception that most people in America agree with their agenda. //

Biden's Press Secretary Jen Psaki claims when Biden promised bipartisanship he didn’t mean legislatively in DC //

This definition of bipartisanship is stupid.
"We're going to be bipartisan by pleasing vaguely Republican suburbanites in liberal media polls, and skip meeting with Republican congressional leaders and pass everything without Republican votes." //
Biden’s version of “bipartisanship” is exactly the kind of phony “unity and healing” Republicans predicted it would be: Paying lip service to bringing both political parties and the country together under the guise of “moving America forward,” all while ramming through radical legislation without a single Republican vote. It was meaningless and empty rhetoric then, and Jen Psaki confirmed it with her response during yesterday’s briefing.
