Party? >> no, i dont think he did expect it. i also dont think he expected people to resist vaccines the way they have resisted vaccines. this is someone who was in the senate for 36 years, and was vice president for eight, but this is a very different place. and i think he had to learn that. he prefers the kind of quiet, back door diplomacy, okay, im going to have joe manchin at the white house, im going to have kyrsten sinema at the white house. well jaw on this thing and maybe we can get it t...
