Biden s is not a leaky ship of state not yet Albert Hunt, opinion contributor © Getty Images President Biden discusses his administration s response to the coronavirus pandemic at the White House
There is something unusual in the first 11 weeks of the Biden presidency: There have been very few leaks, no big ones.
Think back four years, when the Trump White House was leakier than the Titanic: leaks about the President s insulting phone calls to foreign leaders, about the deceit of the national security adviser, the slipshod incendiary effort to invoke a travel ban.
This, I think, reflects the two presidents: Trump the narcissistic showman with little interest in the substance of governance, Biden weak on the showman side, strong on the governing bit.

Republicans on Capitol Hill say President Biden s infrastructure proposal is the clearest sign yet that the White House has no intention of working with them on big legislation.
The $2.25 trillion plan unveiled this week by Biden takes direct aim at former President Trump s signature economic achievement by raising the corporate tax rate that Republicans lowered in their 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It s pretty clear the way it is being crafted is far-left and goes after the marquis item that we passed on taxes, said a Senate Republican aide.
