The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/arizona-schools-bearing-cost-bidens-border-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">border crisis<\/a> continues while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/federal-reserve-chair-admits-confidence-rattled-wholesale-inflation-unexpectedly-surges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rampant inflation<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/doom-spending-bidenomics-blame-americas-crippling-spending-obsession\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reckless spending<\/a> hamstring the American voter. The list of Biden\u2019s problems \u2014 the problems the Democratic party must juggle before November \u2014 seem endless.<\/p>\n<p>If Democrats hope to hold their own in November, Biden must not debate. The American people are already familiar with his many shortcomings in office, but Biden trying to defend that record is only going to salt the wound.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi knows this and couldn\u2019t be more worried about Biden\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>\u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Former Lt.
