On Friday, US President Joe Biden ventured to Capitol Hill and met with members of the House Democratic Caucus in an attempt to remedy a party impasse over the bipartisan infrastructure bill and accompanying reconciliation package. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has since set an October 31 deadline for the bill's passage.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) proclaimed on Sunday that Biden has backtracked from his moderate-leaning, centrist-driven persona marketed during the 2020 presidential election.
