Monday, September 27 is the day that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised her Democratic colleagues a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill – a measure that is tied to a larger budget bill that includes higher taxes and new social spending. Pelosi says she’s confident and calm, but she is certainly heading into a weekend of nonstop negotiations, made even more treacherous because of the need for Congress to raise the debt ceiling or face the possibility that the federal government will default on its financial obligations. Also this week, President Biden gave his first address to the UN General Assembly outlining a commitment to what he called “relentless diplomacy.” And on the southern border, a wave of Haitian migrants streaming up for South America has put America’s immigration policy back on the front burner. Tom Bevan co-founder and president of RealClearPolitics, Carl Cannon, Washington bureau chief, and Susan Crabtree, White House and national political correspondent join Andrew Walworth on today’s RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.
