WASHINGTON, Oct 28 ― President Joe Biden is expected to head to Europe without an agreement on measures to combat climate change as chances dimmed that deeply divided Democrats in Congress would agree yesterday on a broader spending deal.
The US president was likely to delay his departure to Europe by a few hours as he was expected to attend the House Democratic Caucus meeting on Thursday morning, CNN and NBC News reported late on Wednesday, in what would likely be an attempt to secure the backing of progressive lawmakers for his agenda.
Others agreed it seemed unlikely there would be an agreement yesterday, and suggested fundamental issues, like how to pay for it, remain. The White House sought earlier yesterday to portray it as still “realistic” that Biden's signature spending plan could get congressional support by today, but conceded that he might need to depart for Europe without a final deal in hand.
