Then on Friday night, the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump got a formal date on the calendar, complicating every bipartisan goal on the new President's agenda. Biden is caught in an almost impossible vise as the nation reengages in the most polarizing kind of proceeding that exists in Washington. Biden underscored that point Friday when asked whether he favored Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's timeline for a mid-February impeachment trial. "He ran against him because he thought he was unfit to serve, and he's no longer here because President Biden beat him," Psaki said during the White House news briefing Friday. "I don't believe Democrats or Republicans are going hungry and losing jobs; I believe Americans are going hungry and losing their jobs."
