President Biden addressed the nation Friday evening, just one day after Congress passed a bill to raise the government's borrowing limit in bipartisan fashion after weeks of tense negotiations between himself and Republican House leaders.
"My fellow Americans, when I ran for president, I was told the days of bipartisanship were over and that Democrats and Republicans could no longer work together. But I refused to believe that, because America can never give in that way of thinking," Biden said.
"That's why I'm speaking to you tonight, to report on the crisis averted and what we're doing to protect America's future. Passing this budget agreement was critical. The stakes could not have been higher," he said.
