If anything, Biden promised to be a uniter, and he's been hardly that at all. Quite the opposite.
There are some folks in congress that are likely ununitable, especially a few of the most vocal GOP reps in the House.
Democrats passed major pieces of legislation,
several with bipartisan support. Bipartisan support which is what gets bills passed and signed into law reflect on Biden's ability to bring the GOP and Democrats together.
One of Biden's first acts as president was to try to get the coronavirus pandemic under control by passing the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
The White House sent Americans in the low-to-medium income range a $1,400 payment to help fund basic necessities like rent and groceries. Biden also extended a $300 a week federal unemployment benefit for some 9.7 million people out of work at the time, temporarily expanded the child tax credit program, allotted $7.25 billion for small business loans and $128 billion in grants for state educational agencies.
Biden signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law in November 2021 that will repair the nation's roads, bridges and railways, bring high-speed internet to rural communities and more.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes: $284 billion for transportation needs, which includes repairing bridges and roadways, public transit and airports, electric vehicles and low emission public transportation; $65 billion for broadband internet; $73 billion for power infrastructure; and $55 billion for clean drinking water.
The legislation was
a major bipartisan achievement, made possible by 32 Republicans — 13 in the House and 19 in the Senate — who crossed the aisle to ensure it passed.
Biden signed into law the largest gun-safety bill to pass Congress in nearly 30 years. This
bipartisan piece of legislation will ultimately save lives.
Biden's CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 passed in August, which allocated roughly $53 billion in federal funding to manufacture semiconductor chips in the U.S. instead of relying on China to produce them. It
passed the Senate and the House through bipartisan efforts.
