A key problem for the Biden team and for the Democratic Party is Kamala Harris. If Biden decides to not seek a second term, it is almost certain that Vice President Harris will be the shaky nominee.
The Democrats should embrace this opportunity to produce a splendid, news-dominating American pageant. For once, horse race coverage will actually be more important than issues coverage. With the nominee unknown, Putin and Trump will have a hard time targeting or strategizing.
This “debate” was incredibly sad. Sad to watch Joe Biden, like a fighter well beyond his prime, taking blow after blow. Always on his heels. Always reactive.
What rubs salt in the wound of American pride in its democratic system is the mockery from China: the fact that netizens of the one-party authoritarian state are laughing over the debacle.
Polls showed that an unnamed Democrat could beat Trump, but they also consistently show that people don’t approve of Biden’s performance and think he’s too old to be President and is a weak leader. He had one chance Thursday to demonstrate all that was mistaken—and he utterly failed to do it.
I was pleasantly surprised (starting from very low expectations) how much he recalled and how cogently he recited it. The downside to all the prepping is too much detail and no zingers.

In part, the tax is being sacrificed to national unity. Long a U.S. partner on trade and defense, Canada feels betrayed by Trump and suspects that America is no longer a reliable partner.
These are indeed minor criticisms in a performance that was full of delights and surprises. Holst's notoriously dense and difficult-to-balance orchestration here sounded lucid and detailed.

America’s foreign trade fell by two-thirds in the Great Depression. It wasn’t all because of the tariff, but much of it was — and the plunge was in exports as well as imports. The one pays for the other; cut one, and you cut both.

Constantine will be perfectly positioned to cover for, that is to protect, board members from criticism, from exposure of its failures (his included) to keep the agency out of trouble.
