From the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal, this is Potomac Watch.

The presidential campaign heats up with a new poll showing President Biden in dire re-election shape.

Plus Iowa, Governor Kim Reynolds will endorse Ron DeSantis for president,

much to the dismay of Donald Trump, who accuses her of disloyalty.

Also the Hamas-Israel war royals democratic politics and is now spilling into

congressional re-election battles as Democrats who support Israel planned primary

runs against Rashida Taleb, Corey Bush, and others.

is younger voters and minority voters.
