"More than anything, we need to change the poisonous atmosphere in Washington. You know, we have strong disagreements, but we need to stop seeing each other as enemies. We need to talk to one another, listen to one another, work with one another. And we can do that," Biden urged at a White House event about canceling student loans, speaking about Tuesday's historic vote.
Biden reiterated his commitment to bipartisanship, saying that Democrats are prepared to do so "for the good of the American people." "It does worry me. But I know there are a majority of members of the House and Senate in both parties who have said that they support funding Ukraine," he said.
