With President Trump and most of the Republican Party still refusing to acknowledge that Joe Biden has won the election, it seems pretty likely that the partisan gridlock that has paralyzed Washington for at least the past four years is not going anywhere any time soon.

And how will Biden deal with Mitch McConnell and a Republican party hellbent on opposing him?

Osnos' conversation with Ian Bremmer is featured on GZERO World.
