President Biden has received plenty of applause from Democrats during his joint address to Congress on Wednesday night, but as is often the case with the opposing party during these speeches, Republican lawmakers have proved to be a tough crowd most of the time.
That said, there were some moments of bipartisan satisfaction.
The first big one came when Biden explained that the guiding principle of his American Jobs Plan — which doesn't have Republican support at the moment — will be to "buy American.
That prompted Democrats and Republicans alike to rise to their feet in support.
