Biden says he no longer understands Republicans. He has a chance to figure the GOP out this week.

President Joe Biden used a fleeting handshake moment below Air Force One this week to pitch two Republican senators on his plan for infrastructure.
An airport tarmac in New Orleans wasn't really the setting for a full debate on his $2.3 trillion plan, which Republicans have uniformly deemed too big. But walking away, neither Biden nor his GOP greeters believed anything was off the table. The impromptu meeting, described by people familiar with it, came as Biden is preparing to enter what he views as a critical stretch for testing the bounds of bipartisanship. Though he confessed recently he doesn't quite "understand" Republicans anymore, Biden will have ample opportunity to try figuring them out in the days ahead.More Related News
