Ruth Bader Biden

By: Mark Leibovich， The Atlantic — June 10th 2024 at 08:18
We are a little over one week removed from the verdict-that verdict-and Democrats have what they've long been craving: a conviction of Donald Trump, 34 times over. What impact, if any, is it having on this noisy roulette game in which we're trapped? Let us do the responsible thing and hedge: too soon, too soon. But early polls suggest that a significant plurality of Americans agree with the jury's decision, and that it could produce at least a small bump in support for President Joe Biden.

Biden Taking Wrong Path in Russia-Ukraine War

By: Daniel Davis， The National Interest — June 10th 2024 at 11:24
There is nothing for the United States to gain and a great deal to lose by expanding the allowed target list of our weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. Risking nuclear escalation is foolish to the highest degree. Biden's permission last week should be rescinded immediately before any damage is done.

In Mykolaiv, near the Black Sea, the Danish government assists by jump-starting local businesses, fighting corruption-and helping Ukraine shake off its Soviet economic legacy.

I Think I Can Explain Biden's Bad Approval Ratings

By: Zachary Carter， Slate — June 10th 2024 at 08:15
In January of 1980, Jimmy Carter had been in office for three years, and the economy was terrible. Cumulatively, consumer prices were up more than 32 percent since he had entered the White House, and they had been rising steadily for more than 18 months. The unemployment rate was on the rise, after averaging 6.3 percent across his time in office. Wages, adjusted for inflation, had been falling for a year, gas prices were surging, and the interest rate on a typical home mortgage was over 15 percent. Things were very bad, and getting worse.

Biden's Status With Voters Has Reached Red Alert Status

By: David Winston， Roll Call — June 9th 2024 at 08:42
It has been a disappointing spring for the president. Historically low job approval numbers, especially for his handling of the economy. Inflation, driven by food and gas prices, remains above 3 percent. Antisemitic protests disrupting campuses and two wars still raging with no end in sight. And his nemesis, Donald Trump, continues to score significantly better on issues with voters nationally and in the key target states that will likely determine the election.

There's No 2024 Game Changer Coming

By: Ed Kilgore， New York Magazine — June 8th 2024 at 08:14
For months now, many political observers have stared at polls that show Donald Trump with a modest lead over Joe Biden and have placed a mental thumb on the scales for the incumbent due to "Trump's legal problems." This was particularly common (and justifiable) back when it looked as though Trump could be on trial for multiple criminal charges in different cases before Election Day. And even when it turned out the (arguably) weakest case against him was the only one that would reach fruition before November, the available evidence and plain logic suggested that being officially branded as a...
