White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre previewed President Joe Biden's remarks during the afternoon news briefing, saying the deal averts disaster and keeps the country on a safe financial footing.“America is a nation that pays its bill and meets its obligations, and it always will be," she said."It is a testament to the president’s strength that more Democrats than Republicans in both houses of Congress voted for this bill.
"The work is far from finished, but this bipartisan agreement is a reminder of what’s possible when we act in the best interests of our country," Jean-Pierre said. Biden has already released his own statement praising the deal and the congressional leaders who forged it. Not everyone agrees that Biden was a bipartisan dealmaker. The Republican National Committee released a statement saying the president backed into the deal against his wishes.
