President Joe Biden promoted the recent debt ceiling agreement that prevented a historic U.S. default in his first-ever address to the nation from the Oval Office on June 2. He said he would sign the bill into law on Saturday.

Biden began his address by highlighting the significance of the deal he reached with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
