Newly re-elected French President Emmanuel Macron did not take a phone call from President Biden on Sunday night, leaving Biden to converse with Macron's staff and wait until the next day.
"I feel good about the French election," Biden told a gaggle of reporters upon his return to Washington, D.C., after a weekend trip in Delaware. "I tried to talk to him last night. I spoke to his staff and he was at the Eiffel Tower having a good time. And I’m going to be talking to him today."
