Judging Joe Biden's first year in office

The beginning of the Biden Presidency is being measured by opposing forces – both by legislative wins, and by the economic headwinds of the continuing pandemic. CBS News' John Dickerson talks with Harvard University historian Jill Lepore, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, and The Atlantic's James Fallows about the presidency's "return to normalcy"; the chaos surrounding the withdrawal from Afghanistan and COVID-19 testing; the contrasting news of low unemployment and rising inflation; and how Joe Biden's temperament may be the most powerful tool being wielded by the Oval Office.

Then, CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes joins CBSN's Lana Zak to explain why paid family leave, a key component of the package, is appearing more likely to be cut from the legislation.

The Democrat's stance on the provision is likely to delay passage of the bill until next year. Yeganeh Torbati, an economic policy investigative reporter for The Washington Post, joins CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss Manchin's opposition.
