Opinion | Biden outfoxes the GOP in first 60 days - The Washington Post

...Whether on the vaccine, the coronavirus relief package or guns, Biden enjoys a supermajority of public support, one that is not reflected in Congress, where every single Republican opposed the American Rescue Plan. One would think reporters would be pressing GOP congressional leaders on why they are thwarting policies that many of their own voters support. Republicans' public grousing about the size of the economic package has evidently fallen on deaf ears...

Republicans on Biden’s Covid bill: We bungled this one - POLITICO

..."Comparing the trajectory of this bill to bills in the past is like comparing apples to lasagna. It's not the same contours. It's not the same situation," said Jesse Ferguson, a Democratic operative. "Republicans know that, and that's why they've bounced from messages about this being a liberal wish list to messages about the debt and messages about it not being bipartisan to messages about 'The Cat in the Hat.'"
