President Joe Biden insisted during his first White House press conference that he is committed to bipartisan cooperation with Congress and transparency on the border — as long as both happen on his terms.

Asked if he had “rejected bipartisanship” after signing a nearly $2 trillion spending bill that passed without a single Republican vote, Biden replied, “No, not at all.” He rejected Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s characterization of him as a captive of the far Left.
