MILWAUKEE—Republicans gathered for their party's national convention this week were hedging their bets on their November opponent as drama engulfs the Democratic Party. Speakers levied criticisms at not just President Biden, but the "Biden-Harris" administration. They labeled Vice President Harris the "border czar," a reference to the assignment she was given to address the root causes of migration. And some openly speculated about how former President Trump would fare against someone other than Biden. |

OPINION | I first became aware of J.D. Vance in 2016, soon after his memoir "Hillbilly Elegy" came out.

OPINION | There ain't no cure for Joe Biden's summertime blues. But there's still hope for his party in the fall if, and when, he steps aside for another Democrat to top the ticket. Press reports indicate that the president is considering that possibility. |
