President Biden's domestic agenda is hanging in the balance as he attends two international summits in Europe.
“We spent hours and hours and hours, over months and months working on this,” Biden said, describing negotiations with Democratic lawmakers. “Nobody got everything they wanted, even me. But that’s what compromise is. That’s consensus.”
Administration officials have tried to downplay the importance of reaching a deal before the trip even as Biden strives to do exactly that. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that Biden’s counterparts from other countries aren’t bothered by the grinding debate on Capitol Hill. “I wouldn’t say I’m hugely hopeful about it,” said Thomas Wright, director of the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution. “I think it’s a test.”
