What political capital? He barely was able to work with Schumer and Manchin to rope-a-dope through a slimmed down spending bill via reconciliation. Everything else he's done, he's had to do with executive orders or administrative actions as Congress has been deadlocked and won't be able to do even less in the next 2 years (meanwhile, the Supreme Court is looking to completely gut the administrative powers of the executive branch).

They're going to spend the next two years Lucy'ing the football away from any political victory. Biden loves making deals, even if he comes out behind, but if the other party doesn't want him to have any victories but has to sign off on anything, even something they want, it's not going to happen.
