Biden acknowledges economic agenda may not pass this week
President Biden on Monday acknowledged Congress may not get his economic agenda and a government funding deal done by the end of the week, but expressed optimism both would eventually pass.
“It may not be by the end of the week. I hope it’s by the end of the week,” Biden told reporters after getting his COVID-19 vaccine booster shot. “But as long as we’re still alive—we’ve got three things to do: The debt ceiling, continuing resolution, and the two pieces of legislation. If we do that, the country is going to be in great shape.” |
