Biden's Putin moment can't escape Trump's shadow: The Note

The staggering range of issues Biden and Putin have to discuss are reminders of how much America's policies toward Russia changed with the change of administrations.

The TAKE with Rick Klein The goal is not a "reset," or even a show of comity for the ample cameras. And one key character will be far away though hardly forgotten. President Joe Biden on Wednesday faces perhaps the biggest moment of his presidency so far, with a highly choreographed summit in Geneva with Russian President Vladimir Putin. It's a golden and high-stakes opportunity for Biden to put his own mark on American leadership -- and part of a case Biden is eager to make. For all that, the shadow of former President Donald Trump looms. Putin doesn't want Biden to forget his predecessor, and doesn't want Trump to forget him, either -- even playing to the former president's ego in the run-up to the summit.
