Votes test changing landscape for domestic politics: The Note

The fate of the bipartisan infrastructure deal and an additional $3.5 trillion spending package rest in the House's uncertain hands.

The TAKE with Rick Klein A very short but very long two weeks ago, Democrats were as united as they've been in the Biden era -- in heady enough times that President Joe Biden was celebrating what he called "a moment that lives beyond the headlines." The headlines since then have been among the most damaging Biden and his party has endured -- dominated by catastrophic scenes out of Afghanistan and a perception that the president wasn't prepared for what transpired. That leaves Democrats where they are Tuesday. Fourteen days after a bipartisan breakthrough brought Senate passage of a $1 trillion in infrastructure deal, the fate of that measure and an additional $3.5 trillion spending package on education, health, climate priorities and more rest in the House's uncertain hands.
