Biden's Successful Month: Debt Ceiling Deal and Address to the Nation.

President Joe Biden used his first Oval Office address to slam Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans for threatening to default on the national debt. He also took a victory lap over the debt ceiling deal he worked out with Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which averted a damning default. Biden praised the GOP Speaker, adding “both sides operated in good faith, both sides kept their word” on the path to a deal. The US will retain its perfect AAA credit rating, despite nerves that a downgrade could be in the making.
