context: With a Democratic Senate majority, Biden doesn't really have to work that much with McConnell.  If GOP Senate joined the GOP House on shutting down US government over the GOP's $30T in Reaganomics debt, it doesn't matter as Democrats have the votes in the Senate.
  Can McConnell influence six GOP Congressmen to vote with Democrats on funding US government?   Biden could make a deal there, give McConnell another bridge maybe. >
  
  It is also worthy to note that during the Obama administration, while the President and the House were fighting over the debt ceiling, it was Biden and McConnell who struck a deal at the last minute. I think Biden and McConnell might be able to work something out, they have worked together for decades and it isn’t in McConnell’s interests for the global economy to collapse. >
  
  McConnell also wants bragging rights over McCarthy and Trump who he blames for not getting the Senate majority McConnell wanted.
  So a good deal of incentive for McConnell to be influencing some key House members to embarrass Trump and McCarthy. >
  
  Children are our future, so let’s let future them deal with it. >
  
  They aren't mismatched. They have been Senate pals forever. Biden called Mitch McConnell "a good friend and an honorable man," and I don't know anyone else in the country who would ever refer to Moscow Mitch as "good" or "honorable".
