One would think the President of the United States would be in the thick of finding a funding deal to stave off a government shutdown.
But that appears to not be the case with President Joe Biden, per Politico.
A few House Democrats have remarked that the conference has not heard from the lame-duck president.
While Biden has not been present, President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been as the pair derailed a bipartisan agreement in place.
And it seems that lawmakers are not missing Biden — and Musk is more than happy to fill that vacuum.
“In the 24 hours since President-elect Donald Trump and close ally Elon Musk abruptly derailed the bipartisan agreement, Biden has remained conspicuously absent outside a brief statement issued by his press secretary — and for now, Democrats said there was little clamor for him to return,” Politico writes.
