July 06, 2021: The issue Joe Biden doesnt want to talk about
With the House and Senate on break, President Joe Biden will be at the center of political coverage this week \u2014 and the three big Biden stories are Afghanistan, Covid-19 and infrastructure.\nAll three issues share something in common: They are monumental policy and political challenges with enormous long-term consequences for America (and the world). Six months into his presidency, there has been major progress on all three issues, but no final resolution. In each case, a reversal of fortunes or outright failure is still possible.\nRaghu Manavalan is the host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the senior producer for POLITICO Audio.\xa0Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO Audio.
