Oct. 25, 2021: The 9 most important days of Bidens presidency

Published: Oct. 25, 2021, 10:03 a.m.

The next nine days are the most important of Joe Biden\u2019s young presidency: He needs to rescue his legislative agenda in Congress, rescue his party\u2019s political candidates in two states and rescue America\u2019s leadership on climate policy in Scotland.\nThe White House is hoping for a virtuous cycle of developments that will help accomplish all three goals: Securing a deal on the reconciliation bill could help Democratic candidates in Virginia and New Jersey. The climate provisions of the final deal will tell world leaders at next week\u2019s COP26 how serious the United States is when it comes to reaching Biden\u2019s stated emissions goals.\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.
