Administration officials acknowledge that there will now be more public attention on Mr. Biden, a reality they plan to capitalize on early this week with the president’s first substantive trip outside Washington. Mr. Biden will participate in a CNN town-hall-style event on Tuesday in Milwaukee and will travel to another part of the country on Thursday, officials said. “Now it can return to a focus on the president’s agenda of getting relief into the hands of the American people.”Public polls show the president’s agenda to be broadly popular, even among some Republicans. Reporters camped out in Palm Beach, Fla., as cable networks broadcast wall-to-wall coverage of the Senate trial that would decide his fate. Mr. Biden tried hard to distance himself from the debate over whether to hold Mr. Trump accountable for the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, fearing he would lose momentum on his agenda.
