Potential compromises mark inflection point for Biden agenda: The Note

There just might be deals for President Joe Biden to make after all. That doesn't necessarily mean, though, that he'll calculate that he can afford to cut them.

The TAKE with Rick Klein Much of 2021 has been a waiting game for the party in power. Moderate Democrats have been waiting for bipartisanship to take hold. Progressives have been waiting for it to become obvious that won't happen. The White House has been waiting for either of those governing avenues to open up. The waiting may be coming to an end -- driven by deadlines and, finally, votes. President Joe Biden releases his proposed $6 trillion budget on Friday going into a holiday weekend that will feature tense negotiations as well as fresh fallout from bitter fights.
