According to CNN, the deal’s results indicate that President Biden was able to scale down the size of original debt-ceiling demands that Republicans had outlined. On June 2, President Biden, after the legislation was passed by both houses of Congress, made an address to the nation that announced he had protected the most “important priorities” of his administration in the deal.
