Description
Jonathan Chait’s latest — “Joe Biden vs. the Democrats” — poses this
question on the new cover of New York magazine: “Why is a once-popular
president with an even more popular agenda in so much trouble?”
And, the Biden White House has become much more attuned to the political
damage that the highest inflation since 1992 is inflicting. On Tuesday,
the president will make remarks about lowering prices, an issue that now
claims the kind of attention previously reserved for fighting the
pandemic and promoting his infrastructure and reconciliation bills.

Nov. 19, 2021: After months of wrangling, what’s another few hours?: If a “New York minute” is a few passing seconds, then the opposite is a “McCarthy minute” — something that drags on and on for hours. On Thursday night, at 8:38 p.m., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took to the House floor with a speech designed to delay Democrats’ passage of the Build Back Better package. This morning, at 5:10 a.m., some 8 hours and 32 minutes later, he finally stopped talking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
