stance on the filibuster, which would have potentially cleared a path for voting rights legislation to pass. president biden conceding now it may not happen. i hope we can get this done, but i m not sure. i don t know that we get it done, but i know one thing as long as i have a breath in me, as long as i am in the white house, as long as i m engaged at all, i m going to be fighting to change the way these legislatures have been moving. it s the latest setback for the president, who this week saw dwindling approval numbers and an alarming inflation report and a major vaccine mandate blocked by the supreme court. john harwood joins us live with more. john, what more are we hearing from the white house on efforts to turn this page given that the majority of it is sort of out of the president s hands? well, look, briannbrianna, t white house knows this is a very, very difficult moment for them, and what they re trying to do is keep grinding ahead. you re right.
