Biden Creates Problems, Then Walks Away – Wall Street Journal*

Here, the political equivalence between progressive fecklessness at the local and national level may end. Put it this way: What happens in Chicago, stays in Chicago. Chicago’s electorate—which, as in the other cities, is a political coalition of public unions and progressive sophisticates—just replaced Mayor Lightfoot with the even-more-left-wing former teachers union organizer Brandon Johnson. So be it. Be sure to wear a helmet when you hit the wall. It’s less likely, though, that a national electorate will let Mr. Biden or congressional Democrats off the hook in 2024 for their who-cares management of spending and the border.
