Biden's sway faces fresh challenges: The Note

The president continues his trip abroad this weekend.

The TAKE with Rick Klein A trip designed to showcase the power and influence of President Joe Biden on the world stage has become crowded with questions about his sway -- both at home and abroad. The president's G-7 meetings will bring him into contact with world leaders who are signaling a more skeptical stance than British Prime Minister Boris Johnson when it comes to Biden's ability to deliver on his promises and foster global growth. And now, news of a bipartisan deal on infrastructure -- reached by five Democratic senators and five Republicans -- will test Biden's sway on his top domestic priority. Five Republicans, of course, is not 10 Republicans -- and getting to that number could cost votes in Biden's own party.
