Gender-related issues have been central to the campaign in its final
days, with Ms. Harris criticizing Mr. Trump for claiming that he would

Biden Wanted to Fix U.S. Immigration, but Will Leave Behind a Broken
System
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=88360&nl=daily]
In the end, Mr. Biden’s legacy on immigration was largely limited to
his eventual success in reducing illegal border crossings to their
lowest levels in more than four years. At the peak of the surge at the
end of 2023, a quarter-million migrants crossed into the United States
in a single month. As voters elect the next president, that number has
dropped to around 50,000 — lower than parts of his predecessor’s
tenure.

Once a founder gets connected with a family office, Lazarian and Lee
said they should expect to pitch them differently. While startups can
pitch VCs on dreams and aspirations, that doesn’t work on family

But there’s another axis that politics can polarize along: the basic
worth of institutions. To Democrats, the institutions that govern
American life, though flawed and sometimes captured by moneyed
interests, are fundamentally trustworthy. They are repositories of
knowledge and expertise, staffed by people who do the best work they
can, and they need to be protected and preserved.
