At his ill-fated press conference last week, President Joe Biden threw out a challenge to his Republican critics. Biden asked, “What are Republicans for? What are they for? Name me one thing they’re for.”

This invitation turned out to be a huge missed opportunity. Asked what his agenda would be if Republicans regained control of Congress, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell replied that it was “a very good question. And I’ll let you know when we take it back.”
