Joe Biden Is Trying to Get Ahead of a Big Weakness: The Border
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Joe Biden visited the southern border yesterday for the first time during his presidency, which, as Kelly Rissman notes, follows his administration announcing new migration policies. Also, with Biden 2024 buzz picking up in the new year, Chris Smith writes how the president’s camp sees the border issue as one of his major weaknesses.
Back in Washington, as Kevin McCarthy era begins, the new speaker’s concessions to far-right holdouts could wreak havoc in the 118th Congress. “If these proceedings are a sign of anything,” writes Tara Golshan, “it’s that even with his newfound power, McCarthy will be beholden to the whims of this even more extreme faction of his party.” Jumping off the speaker imbroglio, Rissman writes how Donald Trump remains a potent force in the GOP even if his influence may be waning. Thanks for reading.
