With very few exceptions, Congressional Republicans have sold their souls to Donald Trump. They worship him, protect him, defend him and refuse to criticize him or disagree with him. Trump is opposed to everything Biden wants to do – and therefore so are the Retrumplicans. Thus, Biden is unable to pass voting-rights legislation, immigration reform, an assault weapons ban, the Build Back Better Act or the Clean Energy Performance Program. In 2024, Retrumplicans will say Biden failed to accomplish his goals. They will conveniently ignore the fact that
they – along with Democrats Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema – are responsible for Biden's failures.
Biden asks how Trump 'could intimidate an entire party' while out of office
Business Insider, Jan 19 2022
President Joe Biden today extensively criticized Congressional Republicans for failing to entertain any bipartisan cooperation on his agenda. The President's comments came during a lengthy press conference at the White House. Biden singled out former President Donald Trump and questioned how the candidate he defeated in November 2020 maintains such a grip on the GOP. "Did you ever think that one man out of office could intimidate an entire party where they're unwilling to take any vote contrary to what he thinks should be taken for fear of being defeated in a primary?" Biden said. He later added that five GOP senators have confided in him, all saying they would otherwise vote for some of his legislative priorities were they not afraid of a primary challenge from a more fervent Trump loyalist.
