Biden Faces Rough Month

Wall Street Journal: “The White House faces a series of wrenching issues that could weaken his political standing and distract from his effort to sell his accomplishments, including a clash with Republicans over raising the debt ceiling and an expected surge of migrants along the U.S. southern border as the pandemic-era Title 42 policy comes to an end May 11. The recent seizure of another failing bank could add to voters’ uncertainty about the health of the economy.”

“The policy headaches come as early 2024 polling shows Mr. Biden in a virtual tie with former President Donald Trump, his 2020 rival, who has been leading in surveys of Republican primary voters. Polls also show many Democrats are skeptical on whether the 80-year-old president should run again.”
