(BBC News) Republican infighting 'not my problem', Biden says
Asked this morning about the current stalemate in Congress, President Joe Biden has described the row over who should be Speaker of the House as "not my problem". -- I do think it's a little embarrassing it's taking so long in the way [House Republicans are] dealing with one another. And the rest of the world's looking, they're looking at, you know, can we get our act together.
Speaking with reporters ahead of a visit to Kentucky and Ohio with Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, Biden said: "What I'm focused on is getting things done."
He added that the trip with the Republican leader today was to demonstrate their success at passing bipartisan legislation to address major issues.
