United States President Joe Biden has met with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell in the southern state of Kentucky, where he promoted the benefits of a 2021 infrastructure spending package and pushed for greater bipartisanship.Biden visited the Brent Spence Bridge on the border of Kentucky and Ohio on Wednesday to highlight projects that stand to benefit from the $1 trillion infrastructure deal, a centrepiece of the president’s legislative agenda. The worn-out double-decker bridge is due to receive upgrades as part of the spending package.“When the president ran for office, he said that, if elected, he would use the power of the presidency to bring the country together,” senior White House adviser Mitch Landrieu told reporters on Wednesday. “And when we [do] that, we can do big things. And there’s no better example of that than the Brent Spence Bridge.”
