Biden: Trump's Influence Over Republican Party Will Fade After He Leaves Office
Real Clear Politics ^ | December 18, 2020 | Posted By Ian Schwartz

President-elect Joe Biden said Republicans will have "much more room to run and cooperate" after President Donald Trump leaves the White House. In an interview with CBS 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert, Biden said he doesn't blame Republicans who have been slow to congratulate his win and believes Trump's hold over the party will become less of a barrier to cooperation.

"I think I can work with Republican leadership in the House and the Senate, I think we can get things done, and I think once this president is no longer in office, I think you're going to see his impact on the body politic fade, and a lot of these Republicans are going to feel they have much more room to run and cooperate," Biden said.

"I know everybody says, well, they should just step up. How can I say this? A number of them sent messages to me four weeks ago, give me time, Joe, give me some time. That's fine by me. That's fine by me. We won. We won Georgia three times. No, but all kidding aside, look, it's a tough spot," he said.

The GOP can not wait til Trump is gone...There as corrupt as the democrats...

Trump either takes over the RNC and puts his people in or starts a new party

GOP is dead with out Trump...his voters will not vote GOP with out Trumps approval

It’s true his influence in the Swamp party will fade while simultaneously blowing thru the roof in his newly formed America First party (insert your favorite name as desired)

Considering about 40 percent of the people at trumps rallies are Independent, never voted, Bluedog Democrats, or haven’t voted GOP in years till he came along...that ain’t happening

Has a point. Because Trump supporters will be leaving the Republican party in droves. Tired and done with RINOs.

Biden’s influence will fade without rampant voter fraud.

Joe Biden: Wrong about everything for 47 years.

Securing his grand legacy as the biggest fraud in US history.

Trump will eventually die, yes. But he’s created a new legacy that the party must either live up to or die.
