The White House said President Joe Biden’s latest efforts to tie Republican policies to former President Donald Trump and his “ultra-MAGA” agenda are not in conflict with his pledge to work across the aisle.

“The president’s view is you can do both,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Monday. “He believes that there is work we can continue to do together, we’re actively advocating for.”

Psaki pointed to Biden’s recent visit to Ohio as evidence of his work bridging partisan divides. “He was out traveling and just last Friday on the Bipartisan Innovation Act,” she added.

Biden lashed out at Republicans last week after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion revealed a majority decision to strike down constitutional abortion rights. During a speech on deficit reduction, Biden charged that “this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history — in recent American history.”

Invoking the court’s draft Tuesday, Biden’s press secretary said that while the president hopes to continue advancing bipartisan legislation, he is “not going to stand by and not call out what he sees as ultra-MAGA behavior.”

She also slammed an agenda proposed by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which Democrats are seizing on ahead of the midterm elections.

These “ultra-MAGA policies … are out of the mainstream of the country and are not in the interest of the American people,” Psaki charged.

Biden took office vowing to work with his political opponents for the good of the people.

“We cannot govern this country, cannot sustain our democracy without arriving at a consensus,” Biden said while campaigning for the Democratic nomination in Iowa in 2020. Biden vowed to do “big things” if he secured the nomination and won the general election.

“That’s what I’ve done my whole career,” he said at the time.
