President-elect Joe Biden said that he spoke to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday, the first known conversation between the two men since Biden won the presidential election.

Biden described it as a "great conversation" and said he called McConnell to thank him for remarks the Kentucky Republican made on the Senate floor congratulating Biden for his victory. McConnell made the statement earlier Tuesday, after weeks of silence amid President Trump's refusal to concede the election.

"I called him to thank him for the congratulations," Biden told reporters in Wilmington, Del. "I told him that while we disagree on a lot of things there are things we can work together on. We agreed to get together sooner than later. And I'm looking forward to working with him."

"I'm calling other members, I spoke with some other members, about a dozen calling and I'll list them off, I'll tell you who I've spoken to," Biden continued.

1. See Republicans, it's not so hard.

Try it.

[sfstaxprep]

2. Turtle Is Still Waiting For January 5th

If the repubs have a 52-48 majority, I doubt he's going to give an inch on just about ANYTHING Biden proposes.

He MUST be neutered by becoming a Minority Leader for at least the next 2 years.

[Maxheader]

3. After 8 years dealing with mitch the bitch...

President Biden knows what a snake mkkonel is...

[Fullduplexxx]

4. DISAPPOINTED! apparently biden has already forgotten to whom he is speaking

Call obama and ask him how much the outreach helped HIM.

[scarletwoman]

9. Well, Biden has the advantage of being White, so we'll see.

[cstanleytech]

12. I suspect its more along the lines of trying not to burn the bridge for the Georgia elections

because if he was combative towards Mitch or the Republicans in general it could be used against the Democrats that are running for the Senate to energize the Republicans voter base.

[EndlessWire]

14. I despise McConnell

and also don't believe him at all. But, Biden did the right thing to talk to him. It is a good sign that Biden is going to do everything possible to get work done. I think it's healthy, and sets a good tone. No harm here.

[GulfCoast66]

24. I think Biden had his number. He and Obama dealt with him for 6 years.

But Biden is going to be the Anti-trump. Being professional is not a bad thing.

Last thing I want is Biden acting like an ass.

[alwaysinasnit]

5. Well, I won't be holding my breath. Moscow Mitch has gotten even worse over time.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

6. Don't tell the Georgia voters about it.

We need these two Democratic Senators in place of the greedy, bastard, Republican Senators.

[HUAJIAO]

22. I suspect Mitch is being 'nice' just in case the Dems win the 2 Georgia elections.

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. BINGO! (n/t)

[spicysista]

8. I hope he brings disinfectant to the meeting.

Moscow Mitch is an awful person. Just being around him would make me ill.

[zentrum]

10. 'Itch's one goal...

...for the next four years will be to block everything Biden tries to do.

[dalton99a]

11. McConnell will obstruct and sabotage everything

except for things that will benefit his patrons

[LizBeth]

13. Any mention of the week, two weeks before millions of us will be kicked off UI? I mean, fuck....

thanks for acknowledging Biden the Prez after a month of stoking chaos, and no mention of the millions that are looking at a deadline. Really?

[bluestarone]

15. Moscow Mitch is just waiting until Georgia election

When he loses AGAIN in Jan, he'll be in the minority. Hard to say if we will see the asshole mitch or the reformer complainer mitch! Guess we'll see. but ( In my eyes no matter what, HE'S the ASSHOLE MOSCOW MITCH, ALWAYS)

[WhoWoodaKnew]

16. We want a functioning government. Get use to Joe Biden doing his best.

[Blue Owl]

17. I hope the real Grim Reaper shows Mitch who's boss before Jan. 21

The nation will be a better place without this evil fuck.

[bamagal62]

18. Oh no!!!!

Not the “reach out”. Please.
Will we ever learn?

[JohnnyRingo]

19. Work with Mitch?

On the phone, Joe couldn't see Mitch rolling his eyes, giving him the finger, and playing the tiny violin.

Shoulda Zoomed that call.

[TomDaisy]

20. Cocaine Mitch! God love ya!

[myohmy2]

21. if the turtle...

...ends up owning the Senate, maybe...

...but right now we should be aggressively firing up our base in Georgia...

...that could mean we sink or swim...

...the turtle is good at 'No'...

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Mitch & GOP Gang are escaping Trump

They're happy. They got everything they wanted. 800 judges and 3 SCOTUS ones, pollution, tax cuts and money, deregulation. Meanwhile they blocked anything that made any sense. Now they allow a little of that through and they'll be popular. They play this game well, you have to give them that.

[OldBaldy1701E]

26. yes, but

the game you are referring to is between the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals. And, the public are the Generals. We need to never forget this. They lose nothing from playing around with our lives and we gain nothing from playing their game.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. That a very good analogy

and I think on balance, very true. We get a trickle down every do often.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

27. McConnell is a fascist who has committed multiple crimes against humanity,

but is protected from prosecution, because he committed these crimes against humanity as an elected official.

The number of innocent Americans that McConnell is personally responsible for deliberately causing great suffering and harm to, during a deadly pandemic, is enormous, and inestimable, as the number of those that McConnell causes harm and suffering to grows exponentially every second of every day.

"Monstrous Mitch" is a dangerous menace to society, and an immediate threat to the security and well being of the American people.
