PHOENIX (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden predicted Monday that some Republican lawmakers will support the Obama administration's economic recovery efforts in the future as economic conditions improve across the country.
Biden says there's a fair number of Republican lawmakers who believe the stimulus efforts make sense, but face heavy pressure from within their own party to oppose them.
The vice president says all Republican governors and mayors he has spoken to about stimulus spending have thanked him for the administration's efforts to help lift their economies.
Biden was in Phoenix on Monday to speak at a fundraiser for two Democratic lawmakers and promote the effect that stimulus spending has had in Arizona.
