On March 24, 2021, Axios published a story with the headline "Biden Puts Harris in Charge of Border Crisis." Politics reporter Stef W. Kight informed us that the vice president would be "addressing the migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border" and that Harris would "lead efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador) to manage the flow of unaccompanied children and migrant families arriving at the border in numbers not seen since a surge in 2019." Lest anyone wonder whether this was a big job with a great deal of responsibility, a White House official told reporters: "President Biden said during the transition, whatever the most urgent need, he would turn to the vice president, and today he is turning to the vice president."

For some of America's allies, it's time to bet on the other guy. European diplomats and officials have described their shock at President Joe Biden's faltering, error-strewn public performances and revealed they have already started reaching out to Donald Trump.

Over the past week, I received more than a dozen calls, texts and emails from medical colleagues who, like me, specialize in the brain. It wasn't that what we noticed was necessarily new but that it was particularly pronounced, and right from the start of the debate. From a neurological standpoint, we were concerned with his confused rambling; sudden loss of concentration in the middle of a sentence; halting speech and absence of facial animation, resulting at times in a flat, open-mouthed expression

A Washington Post-George Mason University poll released this week contains good news and bad news for the Biden campaign. First, it shows that Biden has made substantial progress in convincing voters that democracy is indeed on the ballot.

Unfortunately for Biden, this same poll shows he is failing to persuade people that voting for him is the best way to preserve and/or improve democracy. Forty-four percent of surveyed voters in those states say that they believe Trump is best equipped to deal with threats to democracy, compared with only 33 percent who favor Biden to do so. The news gets worse for Biden if we focus just on "undecided" voters

Here is Harris in her own words:

.@POTUS asked me to lead our diplomatic work with Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. To address the situation at the southern border, we have to address the root causes of migration. It won't be easy work-
