Description
Foreign policy crises have a way of reshuffling the priorities of a
president. Joe Biden's standoff with Putin happened to come along just
when Biden had lost some urgency in confronting his three big domestic
threats.
The pandemic is becoming endemic. There’s not much Biden can actually do
about inflation. And the key senator standing in the way of Biden’s
domestic agenda remains immovable.
While the war in Ukraine is just five days old, administration officials
and Biden allies are starting to grapple with the ways in which Biden’s
presidency may be fundamentally altered.

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
