Joe Biden may be the president in name, but with the White House directly contradicting his proclamations twice in as many days and his notable absence from greeting Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, one has to ask: who is actually running the country?
With border crossings at their highest in 15 years and record child migrants flooding overcrowded facilities, it is abundantly clear that the country faces a crisis, and at last, President Joe Biden finally conceded as such. During a weekend round of golf, he defended delaying an increase in refugees accepted to the country because his administration had to deal with "the crisis that ended up on the border with young people."
But by Monday, the White House inexplicably said that the stated position of the president wasn't the position of the presidency.
All the while, Vice President Kamala Harris, the person Biden claimed to have put in charge of the border crisis, is everywhere but on the border. While Biden is in hiding, Harris has been galavanting cross-country, even greeting Suga in his place.
Biden may be the president, but clearly the buck does not stop with him. So who is actually running the country in his stead?
