President BidenJoe BidenBiden restates commitment to ‘one China’ policy on Taiwan in call with Xi Biden raises human rights with China’s Xi during four hour meeting Biden, Xi hold ‘candid’ discussion amid high tensions MORE and Democrats are attempting to execute something that has eluded them for months: a drama-free week.

Part one of that mission was completed Monday as Biden, surrounded by Democratic lawmakers (and some Republicans), signed the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package into law.

“My message to the American people is this: America is moving again and your life is going to change for the better,” Biden said in prepared remarks, highlighting provisions for replacing lead pipes, implementing broadband and improving public transit.

But whether one good day for the Biden administration will be followed by others remains an open question, and it will likely be answered in the party’s push to pass the multi trillion-dollar Build Back Better agenda.
