Biden mocks Republicans for promoting recovery plan they voted against

CLEVELAND — President Joe Biden continues to negotiate with Republicans on his big-ticket spending plans. But on Thursday, when he left Washington, he mocked them for voting against the coronavirus recovery package and then turning around and promoting the bill.
“If you’re going to try to take credit for what you’ve done, don’t get in the way of what we still need to do,” he said during a visit to Northeast Ohio, holding up a list for 13 Republicans. “Not a single one of them voted for the rescue plan. I’m not going to embarrass anyone, but I have here a list of how back in their districts they’re bragging.”
In a speech at Cuyahoga Community College, Biden said his trillions of dollars in proposals are already igniting economic recovery and creating millions of jobs following the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden and his aides say they believe that gaining the support of the majority of Americans — as well as Republican governors, mayors and local officials across the country — could help them secure the backing of congressional Republicans or even give Democrats momentum to push through the plans on a party-line vote.
