It was amazing to see so many of Will’s friends and colleagues at @PressClubDC tonight & hear amazing stories. The turnout was a testament to the kind of person he was — an incredibly kind & humble man whose commitment to journalism, the @AP & to the Press Club was unmatched.

New tonight -> ‘Shrink the room:’ How Biden + McCarthy struck a debt-limit deal

It’s a tale of an underestimated speaker and a POTUS who tuned out the noise to avert default on his watch.

Plus previously unreported details of McConnell's advice to Biden

College basketball's winning teams are headed to the White House tomorrow. What started as a nonpartisan rite of passage has become increasingly tangled up in politics. Nice read; fun photos! @ChrisMegerian @joshboak https://t.co/L2rOFKHcTv

Here's your deep dive on the X-date. Go ahead, wonk out. @fatimathefatima https://t.co/TGIpA4l13N

The already voluble McCarthy is especially chatty these days, as he aggressively tries to set the terms of the public debate. Biden's deeply held view is that speaking in public about negotiations does nothing to produce an outcome. @seungminkim

Politicians in Washington may be offering assurance that the government will figure out a way to avert default, but around the country, economic anxiety is rising and some people already are adjusting their routines. @fatimathefatima @dsupervilleap https://t.co/YKFV9q3MBw

[Nancy Benac @nbenac]

It was a shift in focus that plays to Biden's faith in the power of global diplomacy, and one that also may hold more promise for making progress. @ctlong1 https://t.co/MdTBJGcZNl

Biden underperforms on the economy even among Democrats: 61% approve of him on that issue, compared with 75% for his job overall. @AamerISmad @EL_Swan https://t.co/oMwI2WP1wM
