How Biden's political future could rest on Ukraine
CNN
President Joe Biden is confronting an international crisis of an enormous magnitude. While Biden played a proactive role in trying to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine, it wasn't enough to stop the largest conventional military attack in Europe since World War II.
Russia's full-scale attack on Ukraine -- which comes at a moment when Biden is already struggling domestically with rising inflation, a turbulent stock market and low approval ratings -- poses an immense challenge, both in terms of policy and politics.
President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order as early as Tuesday that would effectively shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum-seekers crossing illegally when a daily threshold of crossings is exceeded – a sweeping and controversial proposal that is likely to receive fierce pushback from progressives and immigration advocates.
In the days and weeks leading up Hunter Biden’s trial on felony gun charges, President Joe Biden made little attempt to distance himself from his son. Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
