Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons said Tuesday that Republicans must repent before there can be unity.
Coons said on CNN’s “New Day With Alisyn Camerota and John Berman” that he “believes in the possibility of reconciliation” in reference to whether collaborating with Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley is a part of unity.
“A lot of my faith heroes and heroes in service are people like John Lewis who were able to be reconciled to those who opposed them at times even violently,” Coons said. “But part of my understanding of how we should conduct ourselves in this world is that true reconciliation only comes after repentance.”

President-elect Joe Biden will reportedly nominate Rohit Chopra, an ally of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Chopra is a member of the Federal Trade Commission, and if confirmed by the Senate would take over an agency that he helped create alongside Warren approximately a decade ago. Chopra’s selection was first reported by Politico, which cited four individuals with knowledge of the decision.
His selection would be a stark contrast compared to the Trump administration’s policies and appointees which sought to curb the agency’s role. The Biden administration hopes to return the CFPB to the stronger posture seen during the Obama administration, according to Politico.
