Biden heads to Europe with his economic agenda -- and his presidency -- in the balance back home
CNN
President Joe Biden was preparing to leave Thursday for his second trip abroad with his massive domestic agenda -- and, by his own admission, his entire presidency -- hanging in the balance on Capitol Hill.
The trip has become a potent intersection of Biden's domestic and foreign agendas as he pleads with Democrats to agree on a sweeping spending package before Air Force One takes off for the Group of 20 summit in Rome on Thursday.
In remarks from the White House ahead of his midday departure to Rome, Biden framed the months-long haggling over the deal as a good-faith effort to find middle ground between liberal and moderate Democrats.
