President Biden is negative for COVID-19 after a rebound case but will remain in isolation pending a second negative test, the White House announced on Saturday.

"It's a big deal," President Biden said of the Senate Democrats' bill, called the Inflation Reduction Act, at the White House Thursday.

President Biden said "I always bring up human rights" on foreign trips, but stopped short of saying he would raise the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi when he meets Saudi leaders.
