The American president is supposed to represent the national character. Trump has set a “moral example” that will take a generation at least to repair.

The election will be a challenge for Joe Biden. But looking to the past won’t help him—or us—understand what lies ahead.

The U.S. president thought he could influence the Israeli prime minister. He’s getting played instead.

Two little-noticed FEC decisions last week could both increase and obscure the money flooding into elections.
