U.S. debt ceiling: Biden urges lawmakers to pass ‘good news’ budget deal

U.S. President Joe Biden urged lawmakers on Sunday to pass the budget deal he struck with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, saying he did not make too many concessions to end a debt limit crisis. Biden told reporters at the White House that he believed McCarthy negotiated in good faith and had the votes to pass the agreement, which the president said protects his key policy priorities and is "good news" for the American people.
