Good morning from Washington, where President Biden’s advanced age increasingly is an issue. Fred Lucas reports that former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who hopes to take on Biden, assures conservatives that neither she nor America are over the hill. Xi Jinping will take on even more power after Communist China’s new legislative session opens tomorrow, Michael Cunningham writes. Plus: Melanie Israel on the fight for conscience rights in health care; Preston Brashers on the government spending horrors ahead; Simon Hankinson on America’s tourism challenge; and Dr.  Kathryn Carnahan on changing minds about abortion.  Ninety years ago today,  Franklin Delano Roosevelt is sworn in as president and, in his inaugural address, pledges that an expanded government will deliver a “New Deal” to Americans. Enjoy your weekend.
