Biden confronts diverging political realities: The Note

President Joe Biden is pursuing bipartisanship for his agenda amid diverging political factions.

The TAKE with Rick Klein There's a segment of the country for whom there is no more pressing priority than the policing and racial-justice issues getting fresh attention with the anniversary of George Floyd's death on Tuesday. There's a segment of the country for whom there is no more pressing priority than the debate over election integrity getting fresh attention with county "audits," state legislative scrambles and efforts to create a commission on the attempted insurrection at the Capitol. Amid those diverging realities -- if not directly in the middle of them -- President Joe Biden is pursuing bipartisanship for his agenda. Deadlines will come and go this week, with nothing major likely to happen on the timeline he favored.
