President Biden's decision to drop out of the election has freed up time to focus on securing a legacy-making cease-fire in the Middle East and a deal to return hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
But it's unclear if his new status as a lame-duck president will strip away his leverage over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders, who know a new president will enter the White House in six months, or strengthen Biden's hand by freeing him from the political calculations of the campaign trail. |

The Wall Street Journal editorial board slammed Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance over previous comments he made about "childless cat ladies."
