Start your day here: Biden's plan to push the spending bill forward; the latest in the 'Rust' shooting; NPR's Halloween favorites

NPR  

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images / Getty Images North America President Joe Biden walks across the South Lawn after returning to the White House from New Jersey on Monday. Biden is set to announce the outlines of a revised spending proposal for social programs and climate measures that he thinks Democrats should be able to agree to, a source familiar with the plan told NPR White House correspondent Scott Detrow on Thursday morning. Biden really wanted to arrive in Europe with a deal in hand As Detrow put it, there seemed to be a burst of optimism that the agreement could be ready by the time Biden embarks on his trip, but he's still juggling the same balancing act: trying to convince skeptical moderate senators to go along with a plan that we understand to be somewhere south of $2 trillion. He's slated to speak at the White House at 11:30 a.m. A lack of a deal at home could affect Biden's ability to get things done abroad A lot of these policies are tied to the big themes that Biden is meeting with world leaders to discuss.
