Beyond looming domestic deadlines, Biden is pressing for progress so he can spotlight his administration’s achievements to world leaders at overseas summits that get underway this week. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she expects an agreement on a framework by week’s end. That would pave the way for a House vote on a separate $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill before next Sunday, when a series of transportation programs will lapse.
