President biden signed the bipartisan deal passed by congress to raise the u.s. debt ceiling. to keep the u.s. government paying its bills. thereby avoiding irreversible self-inflicted devastating economic catastrophe. today in the white house room where that deal was crafted, my beloved colleague, lawrence o donnell interviewed the white house team who helped negotiate that deal for their boss, president biden. for this entire career, this is his super power. he really does know how to negotiate, what the considerations are that have to be balanced so you can secure votes on both sides, and you know, really establish a framework that we could negotiate within that made a difference so we could get this done. that is really where it begins and ends.
Politics, it is a problem that nearly every single one of their declared candidates for president is on record as opposing the debt ceiling deal and instead siding with the far right republicans in congress who didn t want a deal. the side that lost when the american economy won. it is hard to spin your opposition to saving the american economy as a good thing. especially when it is like the whole field of candidates that you re putting forward for president. on the other hand, a win in politics counts only if you tell people about it. today a the contractic group that supports the biden agenda began running a new ad about president biden s role in brokering the deal. here it is. the economy was at risk of collapse, held hostage by maga republicans. when their threats of a catastrophic default if their demands weren t met. but president biden stood firm and negotiated a bipartisan

Eviction since the law was signed in last week. it was already signed last week and you already have seven cases of people being thrown out of their houses by their landlord. that s correct. because of the law. when this happened in 2013, 2014, the obama administration publicly pushed back against it and it appears from the observers that that did help. tell biden administration has said a lot of the same things. are you happy with the biden administration so far? we only did what they say. i want them to live up to what they promised. that s very important. if they do, then everyone else is watching. and so kenya and ghana and other countries are going to take note like oh, nothing happened in uganda. nothing was done. so for me, if they say they should do it, they should do it. that s important.
Politics. we ve got the latest only, plus a big policy challenge for the biden administration to talk about. this is something the obama administration also faced. they were able to basically handle it, basically take a strong stand that made a difference. the biden administration is now trying to do that, too. it is proving to be very difficult for them. we ve got an in-depth report coming up on that next. a lot to get to. stay with us. us e that a good da. is about to become a bad one. but then, i remembered that the world is so much bigger than that, with trelegy. because one dose a day helps keep my asthma symptoms under control. and with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy helps improve lung function so i can breathe easier for a full 24 hours. trelegy won t replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. trelegy contains a medicine that increases risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems when used alone. when this medicine is used with an inhaled corticosteroi
