Friday was a story of the D.C. class that chatters versus the D.C. class that matters. The pundits abandoned President Joe Biden in droves, while elected officials stayed silent or stuck with him. In 2017, when Biden was plotting his first campaign against then-President Donald Trump, he went looking for a highbrow outlet to publish […]
