But his diplomatic efforts to meet with Arab leaders came undone after a devastating explosion at a hospital in Gaza. Biden himself initially supported the US 2003 war in Iraq only to end up as the president who ordered the US pullout of Afghanistan. “This is the politics that Donald Trump’s rhetoric has wrought among his supporters in the Republican Party,” wrote Avlon.

He said he’d convene a meeting this month to discuss what really works. He should start with what doesn’t work: everything California has done for years. Residents have known for years what Mr. Newsom has only belatedly recognized: that the government is failing to address the problem.
