A day after House Republican infighting prevented them from electing a speaker, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is scheduled to appear with President Biden — a rare joint event that allies of the Senate GOP leader say shows his different vision for the party.

The White House-organized event, to tout a $1.6 billion bridge project that resulted from a bipartisan infrastructure law, is in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky. The longtime senator has become an increasingly vocal critic of former president Donald Trump and blamed him for perpetuating a sense of chaos in the GOP. Chaos was on full display in the House on Tuesday, which adjourned with no speaker and no clear path for what happens next. To McConnell allies, Wednesday’s event serves as a stark contrast to that disorder.

“It’s certainly a different business model,” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), McConnell’s top deputy.

The differing approaches on both sides of the Capitol reflect a party that stands divided over its future direction some two months after disappointing midterm elections that kept Democrats in control of the Senate and handed Republicans a narrow and already unwieldy majority in the House. While Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) struggles to build support from hard-right members, McConnell is trying to promote bipartisanship and show that Republicans can govern. Meantime, Trump is waging another campaign for the White House that many in his party do not support, as others move closer to joining the race.

Wednesday’s event also highlights a new turn in the long and complicated history between Biden and McConnell, who served together in the Senate for decades and were occasional negotiating partners during the Obama administration — on opposing ends of the political spectrum but not always at odds. There is a clear political incentive for the president to appear with a Republican viewed with hostility by many in the Democratic Party.
