A look at Biden's presidency so far

Tuesday marks six months since President Biden's inauguration. The president marked the occasion by meeting with his Cabinet members where he touted his administration's response to the pandemic, noting deaths from COVID are down 90% compared to six months ago. CDC data also shows more than half of Americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine. But Mr. Biden also acknowledged his administration has some work to do on other issues. CBS News political contributor and Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright and CBS News political analyst and Republican strategist Leslie Sanchez join CBSN's Elaine Quijano with their insight.

Federal judge orders end to new DACA applications

House Democrat on Child Tax Credit and more

Millions of parents across the country could see extra money in their bank accounts starting Thursday as the new monthly Child Tax Credit payments begin. The rollout comes after President Biden met with fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill to shore up support for a $3.5 trillion infrastructure plan that could include expanded Medicare coverage, money to fight climate change and a pathway to citizenship for certain immigrants. Congressman Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, joined CBSN's Tanya Rivero to discuss.

Senate Democrats reach infrastructure deal

Senate Democrats say they have agreed on a $3.5 trillion infrastructure plan which they aim to pass through budget reconciliation, meaning no GOP votes are needed if all Democrats are onboard. The mammoth bill would include most of President Biden's original proposals on climate, health care and child care – but could imperil the narrower bipartisan infrastructure deal. CBS News correspondent Laura Podesta reports on the latest on "CBSN AM," and CBS News political reporter Grace Segers joins with analysis.
