Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden vowed Saturday to work with rival politicians after Republican Kevin McCarthy was named speaker of the House of Representatives.
"I am prepared to work with Republicans when I can," he said. "This is a time to govern responsibly and to ensure that we're putting the interests of American families first."
