WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will meet in person Friday with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in Wilmington, Del.

Their meeting comes as Congress finishes up its lame-duck session and Democrats and the White House have been unable to find a compromise for another Covid-19 relief package. Biden and Harris will be working closely with both Democratic leaders in the new Congress in their efforts to pass some of the new administration's legislative proposals.

Biden served with both Pelosi and Schumer in Congress and Harris has been in the Senate representing California since 2017. Biden also spent his time as vice president during the Obama administration using his experience on Capitol Hill to help negotiate legislation.

get stuff done.

I'll tell you, Biden's gentleness is touching - he's really a good guy, but his sanity - now, THAT is a breath of fresh air.

He and Harris will do just fine.

I am feeling better by the day, even though the criminal Trump is setting brushfires all over the place on his way out, just because he is such a piece of crap. But Biden is going to come in and get the job done.
